"Our Take"

(Past Editions by: Date, Title, Topic)

 
"Our Take" 
"Our Take" is a collection of daily vignettes covering a wide range of CRM topics. It's an attempt to add our own spin to the world of CRM. We will use the column to share our perspectives, opinions, epiphanies, web nuggets, or quite frankly anything that moves us. Get ready to expect the unexpected. And, don't be shy about sharing your thoughts.
 
 
1/14/08 - Give Someone an Ego Snap
Did you read my Friday column on ego snaps? Many of you replied that a little bit of positive attention outside the norm of the customer experience can be an incredibly powerful thing.
 
I don't have research on the subject but the common reaction is that it "feels good when some one pays attention to you." That good feeling can linger longer than a 10% savings or a few extra points on the rewards card. For some businesses, it may be the number one factor to increasing loyalty.
 
Are you in a business where a few well placed "ego snaps" would directly translate to a bigger top line as well as a much larger bottom line? How do you encourage the use of ego snaps in your business?
