Why Relationships Matter and ROI Doesn’t We live in a society that puts the dollar above the customer. That is, corners are cut and customer service is subservient to getting “paid.” Don’t get me wrong, I like getting paid as much as the next person but too many times we question the return before we implement any kind of customer service process that influences both repeat business and word-of-mouth. Albert Einstein said it best when he said, “Everything that can be counted doesn’t necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.” I recently wrote a post called, Forget About ROI, Start Think About ROE.

Teva The List - Deel je ultieme verhalen Ik kreeg deze week een pakketje in de bus. Toen ik het open deed, zag ik tot mijn verbazing een heleboel losse spulletjes... Een kapotte zonnebril, 1 teenslipper, een kompas, schelpen, een aansteker, oordopjes, een zakmes, een bloemenkrans, een zakje aarde en een vliegticket van Fiji... Er stond ook ergens een URL op, vlug even naar surfen... De link wijst naar een Facebook pagina met een filmpje... De essentie van Teva’s nieuwste campagne ‘The List’, is verhalen vertellen, tonen dat je leeft. In elk huis liggen spullen die op het eerste gezicht niet van waarde zijn: een kapotte zonnebril, een steen van de Kilimanjaro of een potje pijnstillers dat je moest slikken na de val van je mountainbike. Op Facebook kan je jouw verhaal "vastleggen" in je eigen storyboard of list met jouw foto’s, items en tekst. Dankzij deze campagne kwam ik ook te weten dat naast teenslippers en sletsen Teva ook een hele range aan outdoor schoeisel heeft.
