My Take: It's Not the End of the World
Gary Lemke, Chief Customer Advocate   (December 19, 2012)

If your take your calendaring from the ancient Mayans, you might not have worried about any of the four webcasts offered today. What's the point of learning more about CRM, the customer experience, and contact centers, if the world will cease to exist in three days?
 
But if you are making plans beyond 12/21/12, you might have benefited from the knowledge shared at one or more of the following:
 
Webcast 1: Clone Your Best Agents
Webcast 2: Listening to the Holistic Voice of the Customer
Webcast 3: Twitter is the New 1-800 Number
Webcast 4: Improving the Customer Experience Through Rich Online Interactions
 
Alas, those were the last four webcasts of the year on the CRMAdvocate calendar. But don't worry, we'll have more for you in 2013. On average, our list contains 30 - 40 at any given time.
 
P.S. If you are hosting a webinar, feel free to tell us so we can list it.
 
  What's your take?

Research: Many Consumers Stop Spending After a Bad Experience
Temkin Group, a market research and consulting firm, released a new research report: "What Happens After A Good or Bad Experience?" The study, based on a survey of 5,000 U.S. consumers, analyzes feedback and purchase behaviors after good and bad experiences. The report shows that consumers encounter bad experiences most frequently with TV service providers, retailers, and Internet service providers, but report the fewest bad experiences with grocery chains. Consumers respond differently to bad experiences across the 19 industries in the study. More than one-third of consumers who had a bad experience with a rental car agency, credit card issuer, computer company, or auto dealer completely stopped spending with the company. Fortunately for retailers and Internet service providers, their customers are the least likely to abandon them after a bad experience.    . . . read more >>
