Capitalize on Annual Planning to Manage Customers as Assets

Customer Bliss

Customer Bliss

Do you practice capacity creation? Or do you layer on? Without managing workload you simply can’t prove commitment. Layering ‘customer work’ on top of the already full plates of operational leaders and teams is the recipe for customer focus abandonment.

Forrester

Every March, children run around, eagerly filling baskets with Easter eggs. The eggs come in all sorts of colors and sizes, some hard to find, some more easily discovered. The ritual continues every year with the Easter Bunny (or parents in rarer cases) hiding eggs to impart joy and wonder in innocent children.

All of those things are true—but they’re only the perks. The real reason that it’s worth creating good self-service content is that nothing beats it when it comes to building trust between you and your customers.
