Send in the Drones: Elevating Service in A Technology-Driven World

Michelli Experience

Have you been watching Domino’s global strategy over the recent number of years? If not, I think the pizza giant it worthy of study. Unbeknownst to many, Domino’s is an amazingly forward looking company. While other brands like Polaroid or Blockbuster have run into a bit of a complacency trap (thinking that what brought them success would also assure them sustainability), Domino’s restlessly agitates their industry by rethinking their product and their delivery platform.

The Great Leader Right Under Your Nose

Steve DiGioia

Never take your existing employees for granted This original article was written by Steve DiGioia. The schoolyard created natural leaders. They were the ones that chose the teams. They were the first ones at bat, their friends sided with their opinions and they led the way with their rebellious streak. You can spot them a mile away.

When we launched the new Kayako in July, we aimed to reverse that type of thinking. That’s why we introduced collaborators as a user role in Kayako—to help our customers work better together and break down silos between their teams.

How Fast Do Your Customers Want to Move?

We are seeing a lot of threshold alarms these days. Highway freeways tell us “minimum speed 40 mph.” It is a way of keeping horse drawn buggies off the road. Minimum orders signal that only volume purchases are allowed. Even Disney has threshold alarms that say a child must be “this tall” to get on a particular attraction. As her two older sisters zipped past the “this tall” sign, it promoted my youngest granddaughter to say, “Tell them that scary things don’t scare me!”.

Why Terminator Will Never Really Nail Customer Success

Before we go any further, it is probably a good idea to point out that the Terminator from the title is not the nasty, melty, out-to-get-you T-1000, but the friendlier T-800 who discovered love for squishy humans and who is actually looking for ways to help them.
