Internet Marketing and Customer Service with Jay Baer – Episode 33

In this podcast episode, Galen Hair and Jay Baer highlight the power of exceptional customer service as an effective marketing tool. They propose that delivering unexpected value to clients often inspires word-of-mouth promotion. However, Jay states that many businesses prioritize growth over customer retention and view customer service as a cost rather than an investment. He believes that rewarding customer retention just like customer acquisition could radically alter the business landscape. The most important insight is that businesses can create their own unique selling points or initiatives that may not align with their offerings. If consistently implemented, these can result in free, enduring marketing.
