If Cluetrain was the shot heard round the world, then this is certainly its echo.
It is clear that customers across all industries are getting really tired of being spun, misled, and lied to. Individuals like Jon Stewart are taking very public approaches to complaining about horrible service when they see it. Eliot Spitzer appears to be single-handedly taking down the insurance industry for shafting its customers (and it looks like he has his eye on the music industry next).
Customers simply aren't taking it anymore. And if an organization is not opening up to them, and not interacting with them, and not meeting their needs, those customers are going to make sure the organization knows about it. Maybe not today, but soon…and that's if the organization is lucky. More likely, those same customers will just go away and never come back.
On this front, there are a few trends that we've identified from the customer's point of view. They are listed below. And this is known to be an incomplete list.
We need to build it out together with stories, comments, criticisms, debate and insights. There are no spectators anymore.
Participate.
THE SOCIAL CUSTOMER MANIFESTO
* I want to have a say.
* I don't want to do business with idiots.
* I want to know when something is wrong, and what you're going to do to fix it.
* I want to help shape things that I'll find useful.
* I want to connect with others who are working on similar problems.
* I don't want to be called by another salesperson. Ever. (Unless they have something useful. Then I want it yesterday.)
* I want to buy things on my schedule, not yours. I don't care if it's the end of your quarter.
* I want to know your selling process.
* I want to tell you when you're screwing up. Conversely, I'm happy to tell you the things that you are doing well. I may even tell you what your competitors are doing.
* I want to do business with companies that act in a transparent and ethical manner.
* I want to know what's next. We're in partnership…where should we go? |

Kanda Podsayings is series of very short 30-second daily podcasts in Japanese about business tips and strategies. All the recordings are quotations of key phrases from a free daily newsletter, Kanda Goroku 365 Nichi (365 Days of Kanda's sayings), published by Mr. Masanori Kanda who sells more than 1,000,000 copies to Japan-based professionals, especially small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Being based in Japan ourselves, some of us have to commute to work every day, on jam-packed commuter trains being bombarded with tabloid and morally controversial visual ads hanging from the ceilings. Our initial idea is to podcast material which is short, thought-provoking and also educational for commuters, offering material which provides a far richer and stimulating experience than those provided by these advertisements.
Each episode will be delivered with a transcript which can be read on either a PC or MP3 player. This means that these podcasts/transcript can also be used as material for Japanese language learners. |
