If your farm sells bulk meat, you've probably experienced this challenge: a customer places their deposit… and then has to wait 4–6 months before pickup. That's a long time to keep someone excited, informed, and connected. But what if that “dead zone” in your customer journey could actually become your secret weapon for building loyalty, reducing buyer's remorse, and increasing repeat purchases? In this week's episode, I sit down with Breann Detweiler, a pastured meat farmer in my Farm Marketing School. During a private 1:1 call, we workshop how to build a powerful customer nurture path between signup and delivery. Whether you sell bulk beef, lamb, pork, chickens, or even a CSA share—this episode is packed with insights that will help you design better communication touchpoints that educate, reassure, and delight your customers. Today's Podcast Guest: Breann Detweiler Breann Detweiler is a pastured meat farmer from Chesapeake Valley Farm in Pennsylvania, who raises beef, pork, and chicken—and runs a bulk meat program that serves dozens of families each year. She's focused on improving the customer experience and building systems that scale.

In this episode of "The Business Growth Architect Show," we talk about the awesome power of storytelling. Robert Kennedy III, also known as RK III wants you to understand that stories are like magnets – they pull in potential customers and keep them interested. He talks about using conflict (like a problem to solve) to make stories more exciting. He breaks down the main parts of a good story: the start, the people, the problem, and the ending. Robert explains that storytelling goes beyond the traditional "once upon a time" narrative and instead centers around the story format or framework. By taking your viewers on a journey and helping them understand the beginning, middle, and end, as a storyteller you can effectively engage your audience. He stresses that human beings are drawn to drama and conflict, making it essential to leverage these elements in storytelling. Throughout the episode, Robert provides practical examples of how you can implement storytelling strategies. He suggests creating videos that address common challenges or mistakes people make in their industry, offering solutions and a clear call to action. Through storytelling, individuals can position themselves as authorities and experts, better connecting with your prospects and audience members.

Social media connects people — with family, friends and even brands. It's quickly becoming an important channel for contact centers, too.

The past 18 months have brought unthinkable tragedies and uncertainty to the entire world and changed how most people live, work and interact with companies. But according to Jon Picoult, author of From Impressed To Obsessed: 12 Principles for Turning Customers and Employees into Lifelong Fans, out of every crisis comes opportunity. Even with the chaos and uncertainty, there are opportunities to strengthen relationships and improve customers' lives. Engaging with customers in an uncertain world starts by really understanding them, including their new and emerging needs and fears. What matters to customers and what they look for in a shopping experience is likely very different now than it was just a few years ago. By listening to customers, companies can capitalize on these changes to mitigate customers' challenges and improve their experiences. Picoult says that more than shaping experiences, companies are shaping memories. Truly engaging with customers involves stirring emotion. Experiences that are laced with emotion are far more memorable than those that aren't. By connecting on an emotional level, companies can take customers from a place of vulnerability to a position of strength and create a strong, memorable experience. Picoult gives the example of the Australian grocery chain Woolworths, which was one of the first companies to offer early morning hours dedicated to elderly and at-risk shoppers during the early days of the pandemic. Woolworths talked to its customers and realized at-risk people were scared to be shopping during busy times when the store was crowded. So it created dedicated early morning hours, and the practice spread to retailers around the world. Woolworths understood customers' needs and went the extra mile to connect its solution to the emotions behind the challenge. In the process, it endeared itself to customers. In these times of chaos and uncertainty, customers want something they can depend on. They want to interact with brands that will listen to them, understand their struggles and then go out of their way to fix them. Engaging with customers during these challenging times doesn't mean completely changing the customer experience—it means tweaking your current offerings to match what matters most. Although these times are challenging, it's also a chance for brands to strengthen their relationships and turn their customers into lifelong fans. _______________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future.

4 Things Vivino Did To Engage Customers and Build a Wine CommunityTechnology & Timing: “With technologies, it's a lot about timing. The smartphone was launched in 2007. The App Store launched in ‘08. By ‘10, it was a pretty good product. At the same time, all the phones had a camera. They were all online. All those things came together around the time when we launched Vivino.”Creating A Vision For The Future: “I said, ‘When I build Vivino, it's going to be this amazing scanner where you can look up every bottle of wine in the world. Over time, we're going to put a marketplace on top of that so when you're sitting at restaurants or somewhere else, you just do 2 clicks and buy this wine.' That was always the vision.”Defining Your Target Customer: “What we wanted to do is to really target the casual wine drinkers, not the experts. We wanted to find casual wine drinkers that love wine but did not necessarily want to make it a hobby. We really defined that very clearly.”Utilizing Data & Personalization: “Not only can it give you the generic information about the wine, the rating, all those things, now we put it in perspective from you. Will you like this wine? We'll tell you how likely it is that you will like this wine. That just hasn't been seen in the industry before because nobody's really had the data that we have to be able to do that.”

Previously, she was the CX and culture leader for Verizon, as well as doing digital marketing there. And she's a blogger, a speaker, writer with Forbes, and CX advisory board member for leading colleges, including our very own Richmond, University of Richmond here in Richmond. So welcome to the show, Stacy. Thank you, very happy to be here. So awesome to have you. So tell me a little bit about this whole CX expertise. So how does one become a CX expert? How did you get here? Well, how I got here is different than today. I got here by mistake in 2013. Today, it would be much more intentional and methodical. So what I mean by that is when I was working, my career has always been sales and marketing. And what happened was back in 2013, there's always been customer service. That's been forever. But that's not customer experience. It's one piece of customer experience. So customer service is when people need help. And that's very important for brand reputation and keeping customers happy. But customer experience is where you're looking at an entire customer journey and really understanding the experiences of how people buy and learn and get their product or service and pay their bill, right? All these are examples of their journey. So I fell into it because when I was doing my marketing job, the company at the time well, we want you to own customer experience and this thing called voice of customer. We really want you listening to the customer and then help us define products, solutions, market messaging. So I figured it out in a more disciplined way and continued that momentum and fell in love with increasing satisfaction among customers and also employees, because happy employee leads to a happy customer. They pay it forward. Customer experience is where you're looking at an entire customer journey and really understanding the experiences of how people buy and learn and get their product or service and pay their bill.Share on X That's true. I'd like to understand it a little bit more. So how do you figure out the voice of the customer? Is the customer speaking to you? I mean, how do you get that voice and then what does it mean? Do you speak with the voice of the customer or you speak with a voice that's credible to the customer? So what's the thought process behind it? Love that question. So the answer is there's formal structured ways that people know surveys. You want to know something, you send a survey. That's a structured way of getting qualitative feedback and quantitative feedback. But there's also unstructured. So there is the social media, there's ratings and review sites, there's people that come to your website and they fill out a form. So the role of a CX practitioner is to take all those sources of solicited and unsolicited feedback, bring it together, really understand what are the customers telling you, where are their struggles, where's friction, and where are you doing it right? And then you take that and you work with your departments, even if you're a small little company, you take the feedback and you share it with the different owners. Finance,
