Rezensionen gibt es heute auf fast allen Marktplätzen. Doch wie stark ist der Einfluss wirklich und wie können Marken das Thema professionell managen? Diese und weitere Fragen haben wir in der aktuellen Folge mit dem Review-Experten Christian Driehaus besprochen. Christian ist Co-Gründer von Gominga und beschäftigt sich seit Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema. Die Anzahl der Bewertungen und die Sterne sind ein wichtiger Faktor auf Marktplätzen wie Amazon. Aber mehr ist nicht immer besser. So können ausschließlich fünf Sterne Bewertungen auch zu Misstrauen bei den Konsumenten führen. Wir besprechen die Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Marktplätzen und zeigen die Chancen/Risiken für Marken auf. Anhand von Beispielen der Marken Samsung und Kärcher wird gezeigt, um welche Bereiche sich Marken kümmern sollten und wie mithilfe von Sentiment-Analysen und Textminings heute wertvolle Insights für Bereiche wie Marketing und Produktion gewonnen werden.

We all know a P&L is incredibly important to the profit and loss of a business, the gains are incredible but the losses can be devastating without question. In this podcast of Season 2/ Episode 29 we discuss just that however we are not going to talk numbers (No Rob WTH are you talking about)?? you got me right and please follow along, I promise it will be worth it. The only way to have a #profitable business is to understand whats behind or underneath the hood or the surface. The real #P&L is whats behind or underneath the curtain so to speak. Your Customers and more importantly your clients buy from you for very specific reasons. They hold value in what makes you unique or at least unique to them. They have a mountain of opportunities everyday of companies working hard to steal them away from you, they want to build their own fence or moat around their house. People buy from you because they find value in you, your product or your service. They have a bond with you, a trust factor in how you perform for them. We go over example after example of what encompasses your #BusinessP&L and where the true value (Not just the numbers) are, but whats behind the framework of you!! A big thank you to Michael Glauser from Utah State University and Author of "Main Street Entrepreneur" for his examples of the things a business needs to succeed for the examples I used as part of this episode of the "Service Without Excuses" Podcast.

My next tip for helping your business survive and thrive in 2019 is . . . get your technology in order. If you run a register, you absolutely need a good POS system. If you manage inventory, you absolutely need a good inventory management system - that's tied to your POS system. Those are your internal systems - but you also need your external systems: Website that works on any screen size, Google My Business listing, Facebook page, Review Management system, Local SEO, and an Online Sales Funnel.Support the show (https://KenCollinsMarketing.com)
