About the Episode

The what's what...

CRM’s can often be categorized as a piece of software that ties together a series of tactics.  PERIOD. But, in truth, the CRM has the ability to create a customer experience from awareness to delight. Our job, as CRM implementers, is to use the CRM to create a full-circle experience that keeps bringing customers back to the table. 

In this week’s episode, Jamie and Mickey take a little time to retrospectively talk about the discussion with Amanda Scott, from Be The Match. In digging deeper into this previous discussion, there are some big aha moments that Jamie and Mickey stumble upon. 

This episode is less in the weeds and more into the big picture of “How do we use the CRM to take our customer experience to the next level?” We encourage you to listen in and think about what areas of your business need an infusion of more delight…and how you can use your CRM to get you there.  Let’s go beyond tactics to the core of customer delight and repeat business.
