Podcasts about user engagement

Send us a textWhat happens when passionate customer feedback clashes with cold, hard data? Jake McKee tackles this age-old product dilemma with wisdom earned from years at Lego and building communities for Fortune 500 brands. This episode of the customer success playbook reveals why treating community building as relationship development—not just feedback collection—transforms how companies balance emotional customer input with analytical metrics. McKee's "everybody goes home happy" philosophy demonstrates how sustainable product decisions emerge when companies design mutually beneficial relationships rather than extracting value from user communities. From scale modeling to high-end fusion restaurants, this conversation weaves personal insights with professional strategies for community-driven product development.Detailed AnalysisMcKee's approach to resolving the tension between passionate customer feedback and data-driven metrics represents a sophisticated understanding of modern product development challenges. His framework moves beyond the traditional either/or mentality to reveal how qualitative community insights can actually strengthen quantitative analysis when properly interpreted through relationship context.The discussion illuminates critical flaws in conventional product development cycles, particularly the tendency to collect requirements upfront, disappear into development "black boxes" for months, then emerge with solutions disconnected from evolving customer needs. McKee's community-driven product development methodology keeps customer voices actively engaged throughout the development process, creating real-time feedback loops that prevent costly misalignments.Perhaps most valuable is McKee's perspective on starting small with community building. Rather than investing in expensive platforms and complex infrastructure, he advocates for beginning immediately with simple relationship-building activities—introducing customers to each other, facilitating peer connections, and treating community development as an ongoing relationship rather than a marketing project. This customer success playbook approach recognizes that authentic communities emerge from genuine value exchange, not sophisticated technology platforms.The conversation also explores the nuanced art of community participation, whether in branded platforms or external spaces like Reddit. McKee's guidance on "showing up" rather than "taking over" provides practical wisdom for companies looking to engage authentically with existing customer communities rather than disrupting established dynamics.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookKevin's offeringPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

Send us a textThe mysterious world of haunted places has fascinated humankind for centuries, but finding these spectral locations has always been a challenge—until now. Meet Greg, the creator of Haunted Maps, a revolutionary mobile application that's changing how paranormal enthusiasts discover and document haunted locations around the world.Greg joins us to share his journey from paranormal skeptic to app developer, explaining how his search for a comprehensive database of haunted locations led him to create one himself. What began as a simple website a decade ago has evolved into a feature-rich app available on iOS and Android platforms, offering users a powerful tool to explore the supernatural landscape around them.The beauty of Haunted Maps lies in its intuitive functionality. Using location-based services, the app instantly shows you what haunted places exist nearby, whether you prefer scrolling through a list sorted by distance or exploring an interactive map displaying supernatural hotspots within a 60-mile radius. Each location comes complete with historical background, reported paranormal activity, and community-contributed evidence.We dive deep into the app's social features that transform solitary ghost hunting into a community experience. Users can "claim" locations they've visited (think Pokémon GO for the paranormal world), post their own experiences and photographic evidence, and build a personal journal of their paranormal explorations. Greg explains how partnerships with established resources like The Shadow Lands have helped expand the database to thousands of locations worldwide.What makes this creation truly special is Greg's commitment to keeping it grassroots and community-focused. Rather than pursuing corporate interests, he continuously improves the app based on user feedback, with plans to incorporate features like paranormal convention calendars and live investigation notifications.Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply curious about what might be lurking in your neighborhood, Haunted Maps offers a window into the unseen world around us.
