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.”

She is also the head of customer experience at Schindler Elevator and a customer experience advisory board member for leading colleges including the University of Richmond. We discuss why customer experience is crucial for business success and how leaders can improve customer satisfaction through employee engagement. --- Engage Customers and Employees With Stacy Sherman Our guest is Stacy Sherman, who is the founder and owner of Doing CX Right, a company that helps business owners get satisfied customers and engaged employees. Stacy is also the head of customer experience or CX at Schindler Elevator Corporation, deploying CX across 60 field offices all over the country. 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,

Spring is fully underway (or almost done in the southern states) and most garden retailers are busy filling orders. But, now is the time to think about engaging customers after they make their purchase. At purchase is a great time to collect email addresses and ask customers to follow you on social media. Later this summer and even into fall, you can host online coaching sessions and virtual parties. It is a great way to stay connected with your customers, especially the new ones who found you for the first time this year.

In this episode of the Everybody Brands Podcast we have a conversation with Wes Gay about how we should define a brand and what a marketer or business owner focus on now, especially in uncertain times: branding or marketing. Wes Gay is the founder of Wayfinder and a StoryBrand Certified Guide & Copywriter. Wes’ experience as a former pastor gives him the empathy and credibility to help leaders create a clearer message for their companies using the StoryBrand Framework.Wes worked in churches and nonprofits for 10 years, including running a thrift store. Wes began his journey to entrepreneurship the way many of us do: He had been unemployed for about six months and couldn't get anywhere after coming out of a difficult kind of church experience. Little did he know three and a half years later being a copywriter and marketing consultant would become his real job. While Wes and Brian approach their work from different backgrounds, both guide companies integrate and implement the StoryBrand framework, a storytelling and marketing model that is proven to help any business or brand to create clear messaging and grow through consistent implementation.Wes and Brian talk about how we should define a brand and the interplay between the disciplines of branding and marketing.“How we talk about ourselves in the verbal version of branding is something that a lot of smaller and big businesses struggle to figure out. Most branding agencies only focus on the visual stuff. How are you going to talk about yourself in a way where people care, and people understand either the problem you solve or the solution you provide?”Connect with Wes Gay atWesGay.comWes Gay on LinkedInThis episode is brought to you by Websites Made Simple.

Are you getting your shoppers to feel something when they come into your store? You know, people who feel and touch something, I'm much more likely to buy. So that means if you're displaying something, take something off of it and encourage the person to hold it. Or if it's the material, how does this feel against your skin? Or notice how lightweight this is, or any number of ways you can get someone to feel touch or hold are the first ways to get shoppers to start to see how well they could either own it or gift it this holiday season.If you love what you heard on Retail Today, connect with Bob by visiting retaildoc.com or send a message to bob@retaildoc.com.

(Photograph courtesy of Amy Peck, and used with permission.) How can you build your brand with new immersive technology? "Start with doing things on paper," advises The Antipodean founder and immersive strategist Michelle Excell. MIchelle's emerging-technology and immersive content collective The Antipodean uses AI, VR, AR and the Internet of Things to strengthen clients' brands. But the crucial element? Michelle says it's the "why" behind using a specific technology, in new creative work. Michelle launched The Antipodean after fifteen years working in digital production and advertising. New technology and creative digital production fill her workdays--along with the best ways to integrate them, to convey a message. And virtual and augmented reality, sensors and "smart" items are secondary, Michelle says, to knowing what works for you--and what doesn't. Michelle talked about her creative journey with The Antipodean, offered some of the lessons she's learned along the way for fellow creatives, and offered a preview of an exciting project she and her staff at The Antipodean are currently creating. And would you like to hear her live presentation? Michelle will be one of the speakers at SFBig's breakfast event, "How Do Brands Use AI to Engage Customers?" on Wednesday morning, June 12th at 8:30 am, at China Live in San Francisco. Here's the link for information. (We've had the pleasure of hearing Michelle as a keynote speaker in Long Beach, and she is fantastic!) (Photograph courtesy of Michelle Excell, and used with permission.) On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: How Michelle first became involved in interactive digital production; How she came to found The Antipodean; What the first days of The Antipodean were like; One lesson Michelle and her team learned which could apply to any startup founder; What's involved in building a successful brand; The steps Michelle recommends to any individual or organization, when moving forward with digital technology; A STEAM resource that could give young girls an understanding of the link between their lives and math/science; Some of the factors that helped Michelle avoid the "gender gap" in her growing-up years; One very cool idea on which The Antipodean is currently working, that has numerous applications.

We get a first impression of someone in under 30 seconds, so what are the implications for your brand through screens, retail stores or press articles? Kevin Lund, author of Conversation Marketing and CEO of T3 Custom goes beyond lame sound bites and lays out specifics. Like a face-to-face encounter, each of your channels is a potential handshake moment, but you're lucky if you get 3 seconds. I ask Kevin to simplify how we can break through with content and what "human" content looks like.

And that's what his book is all about. We discuss how to be relevant and engage customers by speaking human. Competing on price is for suckers. We discuss why being vulnerable makes your brand human and how to meet customers where they are by being authentic and transparent. No surprise to listeners, listening is key and Lund breaks down some great strategies.

In our interview segment, we'll be joined by Terry Brock, a technology wizard who will help us see that it's not about the technology, but about the relationship. That and more on today's show. Bob's Thought of the Day All things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, others whom they know, like, and trust. This is true no matter if you're connecting with people face-to-face or online. It's all about the relationship, no matter what the medium. Those “know, like, and trust” relationships can absolutely be built online. Recent podcast guest Geoff Colvin made an insightful point in his book Humans are Underrated: there is no substitute for human-to-human communication. We are wired to seek out human connection with other people. As a young television broadcaster, I once asked a news director if he thought the Teleprompter was a great addition to broadcasting or whether it would take away from the authenticity of the communication. His response: It's neither; it's a great tool but nothing more. The same is true for relationships: what matters is not the technology but the relationship itself. Are you always asking yourself how you can best add value to others? If so, you're on the right track to connect with people. And, via the amazing technology we have today, many of these people will be those you might otherwise never have had the opportunity to meet. Interview with Terry Brock It's vital that we remember to focus on cultivating, building, and maintaining relationships, no matter what the technology. When you're getting started, you can provide value by listening to what the other person is looking for. Chris Brogan says we need to grow bigger ears. Video is a wonderful communication tool because you can make a closer connection with someone. Eyejot is an app that lets you easily send video messages to others. We have to leverage technology to build relationships through “R-commerce” (relationship commerce). The key is to be real and genuine. Another great tool is Blab, a livestream video chat platform. People around the world can gather together and talk about topics of common interest. You can always learn new skills. The most important thing is to focus on people. Everyone can learn to be better at relationships. When it comes to learning new technology, it's good to say “not yet” instead of saying “no.” You might not be able to do something right now, but saying “not yet” will give you the seed of encouragement to move forward.
