“I worked with Michael in a range of capacities for nearly 3 years at HexClad. Over our tenure, the company grew from 8 to high 9 figures in revenue, changing and growing rapidly all the time. The cornerstone of HexClad's business and value proposition lay in the lifetime warranty and unmatched durability/performance of our cookware. This promise put Customer Service - and Michael - at the front lines of our brand. Michael never let that promise ring empty. His commitment to our customers, from customer experience to warranty claims, "surprise & delight" to personalized cooking tips - our CS team always went the extra mile under Michael's leadership. This experience allowed us to drive increasing LTV and customer retention better than any company I have worked with before. Outside of typical role responsibilities and championing our customers, Michael was incredibly collaborative and available to every department and employee. We worked closely together on creating a "Community" initiative, that was incredibly successful, and involved CS agents and team members interacting with 1000s of social comments and interactions daily. He even extended our monitoring of CS issues mentioned in socials as a way for customers to easily create cases, ensuring feedback from our customers or prospective customers never went unanswered. It was ALWAYS a joy to work with Michael & his fabulous team. While I know his resume, track record, and personality often speak for themselves - I would be remiss not to recommend leaping at the opportunity to work with or speak to Michael for any curiosities in your CS and CX missions. He brings a welcoming energy and unspoken grit into every initiative in his orbit that is pivotal in fast paced organizations. I will deeply miss working alongside him.”

The 15 Best Facebook Posts Ever Written

There’s a right and a wrong way to incite discussion on your brand page. Bringing up politics or religion is almost never okay in any circumstance. Asking for your fans’ opinion on something they might not agree with, like Lexus did with their custom-painted vehicle, is almost always a success, as you can see from their nearly 10,000 shares.

In today's knowledge sharing and connected economy, your customer facing frontline employees represent your company's brand. Your brand is what people are saying about you when you're not in the room. The web is the room and it's social. Some companies today view social media as strictly a marketing tool - this is a mistake. I am also the chief marketing officer for our company and I believe that customer service is your most important marketing asset. The customer experience must be in the forefront of everything that we do. Customer experience is simply a collection of memories. Companies must be easy to do business with and they must hire and keep memorable employees.
