Minneapolis Gets Binged

For just a moment we’ll take a break from customer service to talk about one of my other favorite topics: The Twin Cities.

I travel a lot (sometimes more than I like). On one plane trip coming home I sat next to a Gen Y guy who said something that stuck with me:

“The Twin Cities is a good place to come home to.”

And I agree. I agree 100%. I won’t go into all the reasons I think the Twin Cities rocks. But I will offer links to some other peeps who agree with me:

In the Frozen North, an Increasingly Cool City
Underestimated Minneapolis
America’s Best Cities: Minneapolis, Minnesota

And I’ll end on this fun note (which prompted this post):

As if to affirm how cool the Twin Cities is, the funky folks at Bing recently posted a great picture of Minneapolis as their background:

Please drop me a note  if you live in or have visited the Twin Cities. (Use the comment form below or email me here.)

Peachtree knows that customer service is cool

Customer service is the new marketing because now companies can no longer control what people are saying about them. Everyday, customers and prospects are ranting and raving about your company on social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Companies that don’t get customer service and don’t react to what customers are talking about are doomed to fail.

Focus on customer service in 2010 (finally?)

This may be it. This may be the year that it finally happens. 2010 may just be the year that companies start to focus on their customers and serving them well.

Now, I am cautiously optimistic about this focus on customer service, but let me tell you why I feel this way.

1. Brands are using a focus on customers as a competitive differentiator in their advertisements.
