6 Ways to Elevate Your Brand on Social Media
Today's
digital workplace is equipped with more resources than ever to help brands understand their end consumer, and yet, in spite of research studies and SWOT analyses, brands are still
losing touch with the consumer sentiment that could potentially set them apart from their competitors. In fact, in the search for impressions, sales and ROI, brands are ignoring the most articulate expression of the consumer's voice in relation to the brand:
social media engagement.
Because community management represents the personalized voice of the brand, it's important to make these conversations relatable. Successful social media demands a human touch. Click here to continue reading this article.

More high-fives please
By Jae M. Rang, MAS
Reading time: 56 seconds
What's your "quality quotient"? What's your ratio of high-fives to make-up calls?
We all measure this to some extent - how many times we execute flawlessly and how many times things don't go according to plan - but what is the impact of that quotient?
I know of a first-class manufacturer that processes about 1500 orders a day. For every 100 orders they process, on average, three result in complaints. Now the complaint is measured once it's filed with the resolution team so that's not counting issues that customer service handles, but for argument sake, on any given day, 45 orders go wrong. I imagine the resolutions are to redo or reroute the product or offer a discount, and while the errors can be frustrating, time-consuming and expensive, likely they're not life-threatening. Three percent says there's some work to do but it's a manageable number. Click here to continue reading this post.
