4 Areas message experience relationship focus
Message “ Walk-In Botox” “ Faster E.R. Waiting Times” NOISE
Message
Consumers have mastered ignoring us Be real Watch your promise Open/read your mail over your trash can? Message
do not add to the  NOISE
Experience Forget expectations GOALS Staff mental model Consumers care ≠ YOU
Experience Lip service + Bad service = $0 + zero loyalty Think of “ME” as a customer Ratty barber chair Best location, best facilities, best inventory or best equipment are ALL meaningless
Blurred by process, procedures, rules, steps, checklists, forms, pages, clicks…oh my! Engage Customers or Combatants??? Experience
Relationship Guide the journey Why are you important?
Enraged = Engaged vs. Silent But Deadly Mission does not say “transactions” Are we looking to serve or survive? Differentiate (even when it rains) Relationship
Relationship = knowing their  Goals Differentiating = achieving their  Goals
Focus Windshield and rearview mirrors
Use them in proportion to their size
Drive or be taken for a ride People or paper (monitor)? Stay relevant How??? Focus
Figure out what your members, customers, clients, potential clients want….
… and give it to them!
Control What You Can Control Message Experience Relationship Focus Be remarkable, not replaceable…
