In 1996 the U.S. hosted the Summer Olympics. I’ll never forget reading about this story. Wade Miller, a Santa Fe, New Mexico, resident, tried to buy tickets to the volleyball match from the Summer Olympics ticket office in Atlanta. When the agent found out he lived in New Mexico, she refused to sell him a ticket. She claimed she couldn’t sell tickets to anyone outside the United States.

Top Takeaways: Social media is called “social” for a reason. It’s more than posting branded content. It is about communicating with your customers, getting feedback, responding to comments, and taking action based on what your customers tell you. Respond thoughtfully to every comment, positive or negative. Instead of replying with a generic “thank you” each time someone leaves a comment, respond in a way that makes the customer feel heard as an individual.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

However, learning to say no in the right way, might also avoid conflict while simultaneously giving you back control over your life.
