#023 The Loyalty Loop, with Drew Davis

IN THIS EPISODEDo you have LOYAL customers? What does loyalty mean to you? Is it a destination where happy customers, who love what you do, gather to bathe in the success that your product or service has brought them? Or is it more than that…? Rather than a destination, is it an on-going journey of moments that inspire your loyal customers to commit to you, time and time again, whilst shouting from the rooftops to all who will hear their recommendation to work with you? How often do you find yourself telling your clients that you are different? And, when you are comparing your business to your competition, could you - hand on heart - say that you truly offer something that no one else does? The likelihood is, as we’ve said so many times here on KAMCast, is that the real difference is in you, our team and the EXPERIENCE you provide your customers. In a journey of moments, how well do you craft an experience that inspires your clients to commit data, time and eventually money before starting the whole cycle again? Do you deliberately and intentionally inspire the emotions YOU need in your clients to motivate them to WANT the products and services you can offer? In this episode, I am joined by Drew Davis, bestselling author and internationally acclaimed speaker. He was dialing in from across the pond, so you’ll have to forgive the odd connection glitch in the matrix on the recording!
