Sprint Dials Up Conversocial for Customer Service via Facebook Messenger

Wireless giant Sprint teamed up with Conversocial, a cloud-based social customer service solution and Facebook Marketing Partner, to provide customer service via Facebook Messenger.

Conversocial said in a release that Sprint determined that a large chunk of its customer base preferred to address account- and service-related needs via social media, so the wireless carrier implemented Conversocial’s Messenger integration to serve that group.

Conversocial said it manages more than 11 million social media messages each month across social media channels including Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram and YouTube.

Sprint senior vice president of customer care Marci Carris said in the release:

We want to build long-term relationships with our customers who choose to engage via social channels and have the ability to respond in the channels they want to connect with us. The addition of Messenger to our social care efforts was a simple decision. We are the first U.S. telecommunications company to implement Messenger. This channel is a way for us to have meaningful conversations with our customers when they decide and in the channel of their choosing.

Conversocial founder and CEO Joshua March added:

The conversation is taking place on mobile applications, and telecommunications businesses such as Sprint know that they need to be where the consumer is to assist—in the same channels and the same conversation—to help, engage and wow them. Facebook’s new Businesses on Messenger is going to be a growing channel to do this, and it brings in many new features including real-time chat, the ability to search for Sprint in Messenger and other innovations that will really serve social care–it’s reinventing live chat for the mobile generation, and we’re excited to be one of the partners enabling this new functionality and implementing it with a socially recognized brand such as Sprint.

Consumers don’t want to be on one platform and then told, “Please email or call us,” by the brand. They want to have the conversation where they are and resolve any problems there—brands such as Sprint recognize this in-the-moment customer service philosophy. The launch of Messenger shows how mobile customer service is maturing as a channel for the consumer to engage with a brand.

Readers: What do you think of the use of Messenger for customer service?

Appliance Service Company in Murrieta, Ca, Partners with Online Marketers to Maximize Web Presence

Rhino Appliance Repair, serving Murrieta and beyond, is proud to announce their new partnership with the online marketing experts at Prospect Genius.

Lake Elsinore, CA, October 21, 2015 –(PR.com)– Rhino Appliance Repair, serving Murrieta and beyond, is proud to announce their new partnership with the online marketing experts at Prospect Genius. Prospect Genius is working to enhance Rhino Appliance Repair’s online presence, making them more accessible to local residents who need professional appliance repair service.

Having a strong online presence can be vital for local companies. In fact, being accessible on the Web via both mobile and desktop search is important for maximum exposure. The Pew Internet and American Life Project reports that 81% of Internet users utilize the Internet and cell phones to gather information about products and services they are considering purchasing. And, as BrightLocal found in a May 2015 study, 61% of mobile users report being more likely to contact a local business when it has a mobile site. Simply put, companies without a robust online presence end up missing out on a huge percentage of their potential customers.

Using search engine optimization (SEO), content creation, directory listings, and more, Prospect Genius is taking a comprehensive approach to maximizing Rhino Appliance Repair’s visibility on the Internet. By working to build a strong presence on both desktop and mobile platforms, Prospect Genius hopes to ensure Rhino Appliance Repair can be found online wherever prospective customers are looking.

Matt Gallo, a senior Internet marketing specialist with Prospect Genius, states, “In today’s digital marketplace, it’s important that consumers be able to find local companies online. Particularly for service-based businesses, like Rhino Appliance Repair, prospective customers demand the convenience of finding the right pro for the job via a quick search. We’re working to make sure these appliance repair professionals can be found any time someone looks for an appliance service in Murrieta.”

When Don Draper Died, Customer Service Became The New Marketing

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Customer service, in other words, is the new marketing. … because they can look to their Facebook friends to find out the truth, you’d better make sure …

When Don Draper Died, Customer Service Became The New Marketing

When Don Draper Died, Customer Service Became The New Marketing

Though all signs indicated that Don Draper was going to drown himself off Big Sur in the final episode of Mad Men, he ended up surviving the series and buying the world a Coke.  Yet in real life, Don Draper is as close to dead and gone in the world of business as he possibly could be.

And it wasn’t the Lucky Strikes that did him in.  It was the new power of customer word of mouth, and the increased importance of the customer experience.

Customer service, in other words, is the new marketing.  And it’s even more powerful than the old kind.

Here’s what I mean: Once upon a time, you could guarantee success for your product or service if you just slathered on the mass-marketing real thick. You could hire a real-life version of Don Draper or Peggy Olson and have them add that that coating of marketing magic to the product or service you wanted to sell.

It didn’t matter so much if your washing machines were or weren’t reliable; what mattered was that the marketers working for you had dazzled the buying public with a brilliant mascot like the lonely Maytag repairman, making sure that your appliances seemed reliable.

It didn’t matter if your product was Coke and had a lot more to do with cavities than with world peace, suddenly in these genius’s hands, buying a coke was magically made to relate to creating “perfect harmony” worldwide.

With such marketing genius at your disposal, and a purchasing public that still believed that there was truth behind these kinds of mass marketing messages (“if it wasn’t true, they wouldn’t let them say that, right?”) your product would sell.  Your work would be done. Your business would be on its road to success.

Jon Hamm as Don Draper, from the final season of “Mad Men.” (Justina Mintz/AMC via AP)

The world has changed.

Over time, however, the business landscape became more challenging. It came up against consumer cynicism, and it came up against enhanced  word of mouth made possible through cheaper and faster communication methods (including such now-forgotten factors as the reduced cost of air travel and even the move from expensive to essentially-free long distance calls).

And, of course, the biggest chinks in the armor of marketing-driven products and services have come via the Internet, especially the websites and social media outlets powered by user-generated commentary.

Customer Service Is The New Marketing

Businesses are agitated about this changed landscape, and rightly so. This new, transparent marketplace is a scary place in which to do business. But it’s where all of us have to do business today. The balance of power has changed, with that power now weighted toward the customer in a big way.

Don Draper’s obsolete world of the “4-P’s” (product, place, price and promotion) has now been replaced by the dominance of human interactions, customer-on-customer and employee-on-customer, the “big H” as I call it, for human beings.  Today, all customers care about is how their fellow humans, online and off, have been treated by the humans who work for your company. This is the reality of our new, customer-driven world.  

And we all need to adapt: When customers no longer care what some actor on TV–the Maytag repairman, for example–says about your product, because they can look to their Facebook friends to find out the truth, you’d better make sure those Facebook friends are, in fact, inspired to say something nice about you–about how you responded to their service inquiries and product concerns. Inspired, that is, by how you treat them as customers.

There’s no better way to grow your brand, customer by customer by customer, than by getting this right.

Launched in July 2014, with over 10,000 designers registered, the ReFUEL4 platform specialises in crowdsourcing creatives for Facebook ads.

Owned by Allied Architects Inc, ReFUEL4 has been recognised as a partner by Facebook.

Requirements for the programme include meeting standards such as proving best-in-class service in the specialty;  operating proprietary technology; providing a technology that enables marketers to create, discover or curate content at a large scale; providing insights with metrics allowing marketers to understand the performance of content with relation to business objectives and more.

“We are excited to be badged as a Facebook Marketing Partner with the Content Marketing specialty, and given Facebook’s high standards, we are grateful to make the cut,” said Masahide Nakamura, CEO, Allied Architects Inc.

ReFUEL4’s operations are headquartered in Singapore, under Allied Asia Pacific’s unit.In addition, Allied will build a network of sales and support offices in Sydney, Shanghai, San Francisco, New York and London by Q4 2015. Continued investment in development will be met by the teams in Tokyo and Hanoi, said Nakamura.
