Listrak, a leading email marketing (http://www.listrak.com/) solution provider, announced its latest free webinar for email marketers taking place on July 1, 2009, 1:00-2:00 EDT. John Caddell, Principal, Caddell Insight Group (http://www.caddellinsightgroup.com/), will share how companies can better understand their customers and use new customer insights to bridge the gulf between their company and its customers.
Developing Customer Insight from the Ground Up (https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/164761240) focuses on how companies can
regain their connection to customers by adding some straightforward, low-tech tools to their arsenal, leveraging the collective intelligence of their team - and acting on the stories they
discover.
Companies have many vehicles for talking to customers: advertising, public relations, email marketing, and new tools like Twitter and Facebook. What'ss been lost over the past 50 years,
however, is the reverse channel of communication - from customer to company, said Caddell.
Even with the advent of social networking, the gulf between many companies and their customers is widening. Retail has become big-boxed and virtualized. Call centers have been optimized
for speed, not care. Self-service has flourished as an operating model. And industry consolidation has created mammoth corporations fixated on their internal workings rather than the
voice of the customer.
The Webinar will cover:
* The widening gulf between companies and customers
* A brief history of commerce
* The customer'ss gift
* Using stories to gain insight
* Using that insight to improve your business
Attendees will learn how to assess if their business is disconnected from its customers and how they can use customer stories to gain the insights needed to respond to seemingly
intractable questions.
