Customer service value proposition in action…Being committed to WOWing every customer
3 fundamental things we’ve learned are necessary for WOW service online:
Customer Service:What customers see first • 24/7 1-800 number on every page • Free shipping • Free return shipping • 365-day return policy
Customer Service:It’s all about the experience! • Fast, accurate fulfillment • Surprise your customers • Create WOW, PEC • Friendly, helpful “above and beyond” customer service • Don’t have it? Assist them with finding it elsewhere
Customer Service:Inside message needs to match the outside message • No call times • The telephone is one of the best branding devices available • No sales-based performance goals for reps • Run warehouse 24/7 • Inventory all product (no drop-shipping) • 5 weeks of culture, core values, customer service, and warehouse training for everyone in Las Vegas office • We’ll pay you $2000 to quit • Culture Book • Interviews & performance reviews are 50% based on core values & culture fit • Twitter/Facebook/YouTube/Blogs help build company culture
What’s the ROI on Social Media? • No social media strategy • We have a COMMUNICATION strategy Social Media
Create more opportunities to communicate with your customers… … and you enable more frequent and meaningful engagement with them (Brand longevity)!
Why ask why?Probably all of the above, and more! That’s LOTS of people willing to help look out for your business, provide feedback and ideas, etc!
Evolving Customer Connections • Phone • 6,000+ Calls a day • Live Chat • 800+ live chats per day • Social Sites, Networks, etc… • 1,100,000+ opportunities to interact per day
That’s right, 1,100,000 per dayin the social space… And Growing!
Don’t plan great media,plan great People! Have the RIGHT people, have the RIGHT voice
People Planning Train EVERYONE to be a customer service representative • Customer Service • Marketing • IT • Finance • Facilities • Fulfillment Center • Legal • HR • etc
Customer Prop “Quite simply the best customer service experience I have ever had, period. I was totally satisfied with the tone of the conversation, happy with the outcome, and impressed by Elsie’s knowledge and ability to explain and clarify the Zappos’ returns process. This kind of experience makes for lifelong loyalty among customers. Thank you so much for your help.” Sincerely, Bob
People Planning Rally the company behind the IDEA of proactively talking to customers
Zappos Goal: Have as many employees as possible be a voice! We believe People Planning is at the heart of our success
How does one do that? • Have the right culture and nurture it • Have committable core values and aspire to live them • INVEST in hiring and firing and pay people to leave ($$$) • Stay focused and make people focused investments • Education!

Hiring for Culture • The Application (Beyond the Basics) • If you entered a room and a theme song played, what would your song be and why? • How lucky in life do you consider yourself to be on a scale from 1-10? • The Tour • The Hiring Process • Managers interview for technical fit and department culture fit. • Human Resources interviews for culture fit. • Must pass both in order to be hired. • Hire slowly, Fire quickly
Customer Connections: Personal Emotional Connection in Action • “She went above and beyond…” • “What a gem of an employee…” • “I feel like a made a friend…” • “Kind hearted, genuine, and sincere…” • “The epitome of what customer service is…” • “Treated me like royalty…” • “Engaging, wonderfully pleasant…” • “Funny, a person that I have never met and probably never will, touched my life in a lasting way.”
