PRESS RELEASE

How many of your customers have over 5000 followers on Linked-in, Facebook or Twitter?  So, instead of telling five people about their service hiccup with you, they can now instantly tell a thousand times that number!  It would not take many unhappy customers to cut a sizeable dent in your bottom line and brand reputation.  With customer expectations up 33% over this time last year, you are very vulnerable to a today’s wired and potentially dangerous customers.

Wired and dangerous is the picture of today’s new normal customer. Customers are wired in two ways—they are edgy, impatient and quick to exit on the slightest hiccup, like they’ve had too much coffee.  But, they are also wired in the sense they have the Internet-enabled capacity to communicate instantly with hundreds or thousands of other customers.  Their influence-power also makes them dangerous.  If they receive poor or impersonal service they talk back—with a single snarky video or damning review gone viral, they can bring down an entire company.

Wired and Dangerous: How Your Customers Have Changed and What to do about it is a must-read for anyone with customers in this cyber age.  Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh raved about this book; Lou Dobbs declared it “an irresistible page turnings look at today’s empowered customer.”  I am happy to recommend this new book written by my friends Chip Bell and John Paterson.  Count on it giving you a whole new look at how to serve today’s new normal customer in today’s not-so-normal world.

In this provocative book, they provide a tested formula for transforming today’s edgy customers into eager partners. Using real-world examples, they detail powerful ways to bring harmony to a relationship that was out of whack even before the Internet. I hope you will buy a copy and recommend it to your friends.  Be forewarned:   get ready for a wild ride!

American Express produces a pocket calendar that I’ve been using happily for years. In the 2011 edition there is an item on page 163 titled “10 Ways to Help Save the Planet.” It contains exactly what you’d expect from such a list; energy saving, recycling, etc.

I have a different take on all this and would appreciate it if you’d share this article with others to generate a higher level of dialogue about saving our planet. Correction, let’s focus on saving our species so that we can continue to thrive on this planet. It’s humanity we ought to be concerned about not geography. What good is it to have a bumper crop of polar bears and spotted owls if the people can’t live abundantly?

The dominant mindset re: our planet seems to be the Jimmy Carter era concept of doing with less and asking less from life. In other words, not living fully nor pursuing true happiness.  “Just don’t bother anybody else and when you die we will be able to say that you didn’t matter.” Hogwash!

I say that it is your duty to live a full and abundant life. God gave you thousands of capabilities to make a difference and to truly enjoy your life here on Earth. If you do not use your skills, develop your latent talents and set ambitious goals then you are cheating the rest of us out of your contributions.

Here are my suggestions for saving our planet so that we can all enjoy life to the fullest. Please talk with others about this.

1. Stop hating, criticizing and judging people.
2. Do your work. Stop leaving things that others must do.
3. Save money and live a lean lifestyle where you can.
4. Always vote in favor of removing government entitlements.
5. Create solutions, be a problem solver.
6. Be a good neighbor and a good citizen.
7. Teach kids to become self-reliant by you being self-reliant too.
8. Eat healthy and stay fit in body, mind & emotions.
9. Study and practice your belief in a loving God.

10. Support and encourage business owners. They employ others & help us.

11. Don’t waste resources nor pollute. Leave the Earth better than you found it.

Folks, if we did the things on this list we wouldn’t need unions, government entitlement programs, excessive laws, or even locks and security codes. We were designed to thrive in an atmosphere of love and support and to wither in the face of criticism and judgment. We can take care of each other best by first taking care of ourselves and then the people we know. From there we can reach out to others. But this must start with us and our own families, homes, neighborhoods and communities.

I agree with the goal of saving our planet as long as we are talking about saving it for ourselves and our offspring to enjoy indefinitely.
