Editor's Notes
- Something we’ve tried to do with all aspects of mktg platform is to make it about open-ness, sharing, 2-way communication.As a company we have undergone a transformation – our marketing used to be shiny object focused, we have worked hard to change that in last 5-10 years. Creating a social marketing platform has both been an outgrowth of that change, as well as helped fuel the change in perceptions from the outside.That brings me to the main topic I want to talk about today, which is listening well, and being curious about the world around you.
- Let me start with an odd question: “Why do you keep Barbies in your dishwasher?”Actually it’s a perfectly reasonable question when you meet someone who keeps Barbies in their dishwasher.People are really interesting, and do unexpected things for reasons that are not always obvious. The stories they tell you are not always accurate reflections of what they do and why they do it.
- We used to talk about Walmart customers
- And we used to talk about Porsche customers
- But today those can easily be the same customer
- As a result of the previous 2 trends, customers are getting less predictable
- 400 sticky notes, each containing one finding, from just 8 customer visits. Finding the opportunities takes time
- Multi-vector research – connect the dots across vectors, don’t just rely on one path of research to uncover the big opportunities
- Buying a tv used to be simple
- Today they may all look the same, but there’s a lot more to consider. People are confused and feel under-equipped.
- This is a framework from Innovation X – customer journey mapped to a touchpoints matrix. Align the touchpoints longitudinally across time…
- But also align them within each stage, across touchpoint types.
- It’s easier today to gather customer insight than ever.Still astonished how few companies are effectively bringing that intelligence in at the front end of the development process. It’s only being used to market stuff after it’s already been launched. This means your offerings will always be behind.
- Understanding cannot truly happen without listening.Let me leave you with one parting thought…
- Recent Supreme Court decision on corporations are people as far as free speech goes.But people are more and more treating companies and brands as people.So act like a person you’d like to spend time with. Don’t only talk about yourself, don’t exploit others, find out about what other people want and enjoy, help make them successful.
- Sincerely seek out the outliers, not just the people you know about alreadyHave humility about what you don’t know, and don’t spend all the time talking about yourselfBe genuine and authentic – people’s bullshit meters are extremely sensitive these days.
