Summary: I visit my blog TheMarketingVortex.com every now and then to review the content and get new ideas on what to focus on. Well, I noticed that someone had placed this 46 minute video on my “Video Avalanche” film bar feature, so I clicked the video and watched the whole thing in its entirety. It really opened my eyes and heart to what it means to have customer evangelists out promoting our businesses. I hope you like.
People have strange reactions to the word “Evangelism”. It is a Greek word, meaning “Good News”. I go by The Marketing Evangelist on the radio and TV and on-line and am about promoting the “good news” of Marketing one’s company. Customer service is one attribute of Marketing, but what does that look like? Most companies have a limited view of customers service.
Well, I found out about Jackie Huba, featured in this video, and she does a great job of showcasing what it means to create customer evangelists. For the sake of time, I wanted to write the short introduction, but encourage you to watch this video to help you create customers that rave about you and your company! Adopt the principles she talks about and change the world.
How to become an evangelistic organization:
- Get feedback constantly from your customers
- Share information and many times for free
- Create Buzz
- Try different things – “unexpected opportunities”
- Use bite size chunks
- Get involved in the community
- Take on a cause and make it your mission
