Issue No. 8 |
September 5, 2013 |
So profoundly valuable is a new perspective that people do all sorts of things from the sublime to the ridiculous to gain a fresh view. Rock climbing, paint ball, team building with stand-up comics, etc. Many people object to these sorts of activities because they appear ridiculous. An equally important downside is the difficulty in translating insights into pragmatic action. So, what can you do?
- Ask yourself where you are getting your information. Is it from inside your company?
- Sift through your company website. Is it easy to use? Informative? How easy or difficult is it to obtain contact information?
- Call in, act like a customer. What is that experience like? How long do you wait? How many times do you respond to a menu?
- Visit your location(s) without a specific agenda. What do you see?
- Talk to your customers. Don’t just survey them every other day talk to them.
- Talk to people in your market who aren’t your customers. Not about you or your products but about them.
