2021 YouTube Demographics [New Data] [+What Each Generation is Watching]

Having that information makes it easier to create content that speaks to their interests, maximize ROI, and achieve general marketing success.

The traditional sales process has always been central to its success. Face-to-face communication with clients and their families was at the core of every employee action, offering support and guidance when most needed. However, when…

Fuzzy type
Digital typography always looks crisp. The words on our screen seem official, because they’re not the victim of sloppy or rushed handwriting.
But sometimes, we might be better off with a little less crispness.
Malka Older points out that polling data and predictions would probably be better understood if the graphs and charts were intentionally fuzzy. The less sure we are of the prediction, the fuzzier it ought to be.
For example:
The weather next Saturday is going to be crisp and clear, with no chance of rain.
becomes
And if it’s something we’re quite unsure about, better to set it like this:
The fact that we have to squint a little bit is far more effective than adding a disclaimer about our margin of error. If you’re not willing to make it fuzzy, it might be better to not say it.

Quickly Investigate Your Website for Broken Links
It is necessary for us to take link building into consideration when it comes to SEO. A healthy and optimized website requires some maintenance after a long period of time. Finding broken links is one way to accomplish this. You can either remove them or replace them with a new one. As a result, your website will not be affected by a reduced performance, and it will achieve a high ranking on Google. The downside is that when managing multiple websites, carrying out this kind of maintenance will be time consuming and tiresome. Our topic today is broken links, how to find them on websites, and how to use different SEO tools, plugins, and extensions to find them. What are Broken Links? Are you familiar with the problem of visiting an interesting website and turning down a purchase after clicking on a link? You will see annoying messages such as “This page no longer exists” and “404 error not found” when you click on a dead link. It is a non-existent page and a Broken Link occurs when an attempt to load the requested page cannot be accomplished. This is because the page or website has been removed or transferred to a new host for the domain name. Alternatively, it can result from a wrong spelling in the link or a change in post url composition. Broken links, regardless of their cause, can harm your website. You need to know two types of broken links. Internal links are the first thing to look at. Your website contains a link to another page. Your website contains it. Secondly, there are external links. Linking from one website to another is called external linking. It would be problematic if we lost our search engine ranking or money. Business owners whose main platforms are websites may lose money and clients if broken links are not fixed or solved. Your website may be considered unhelpful by Google if your clients can’t find what they’re searching for as they keep clicking on broken links, which may result in losing potential customers. Bounce rate is another factor Google considers when ranking search results. If your website visitors are always redirected to a 404 not found page, it will become frustrating and they will no longer be interested in browsing your site again. Your website may also appear sloppy and untrustworthy due to the error. Your website will suffer if you ignore broken links for too long. Your Google ranking may be affected. Abandoned sites are one factor, as they will push your website down in the search engine rankings, resulting in your website not being indexed by Google. P.S. My goal is to help provide the best information I can. I do not participate in spam an always look to improve. If this was any help please feel free to join our newsletter for all up to date content.

Interview with a Customer Experience Design Studio for a role in marketing and management, any advice?
Hi guys, I’m a marketing and comms professional and am interviewing with a tech company for their newly set up CX design thinking studio (they are replicating IBM’s Garage). As someone who doesn’t come from a CX/tech background, any tips on how I could nail the interview? P.s- A little about the role: They want someone to singlehandedly strategize and execute internal and external marketing initiatives, and further down the line manage the design studio overall as the lead facilitator.

How to Create a Customer Service Strategy That Drives Business Growth
As a call center leader, you have one main goal — to grow your long-term customer base. To do that, you need to keep your customers happy.
Call center performance is heavily weighed on customer satisfaction; so, the importance of a customer service strategy is undeniable.READ THE FULL GUIDE:
Creating a Customer Service Strategy That Drives Business Growth
(It’s 100% free, we promise.)Customer service: then vs. now.
Customer expectations change, especially over a long period of time. Call centers must monitor customer interactions, analyze customer data, and actually read the results of customer satisfaction surveys to improve customer loyalty and retention.
Gone are the days where a cheap product or service was enough to keep a customer happy. Today, you can’t risk the aftermath of poor customer service. To come back from one negative customer interaction, you need to have 12 more positive ones. And, a dissatisfied customer is twice as likely to tell people about their one bad experience than about their good experiences.
You’ll increase customer loyalty with strong customer service; in fact, customer support is now considered a growth driver by leading enterprises.DID YOU KNOW?
A dissatisfied customer is twice as likely to tell people about their one bad experience than about their good experiences?Set your customer service goals.
Clear, actionable goals are essential for any call center customer service strategy. As mentioned earlier, your main, overarching goal is to keep customers happy and loyal. To get there, you need more specific goals. When thinking about goals, ask yourself questions about your operations, like:Are my call center agents responsive? Happy? Engaged?
Are my operations meeting the company budget? Are costs consistently over budget?
Are agents equipped with the right knowledge and tools to support our customers?Answer these questions to get a better idea about what you want your call center to achieve. Use your goals to inform which KPIs you use and how you analyze them.
How to analyze your call center data.
Call center metrics offer unique insight into the progress of your customer service strategy. Take an exploratory lens to data analysis and setting metrics to see what’s worked well and what hasn’t.
To start, study your customers to understand their preferences. Listen to what they need, ask them for feedback, and give them the option to chat over the phone or through email or live chat. Knowing your customers is a good first step to satisfy them.
Another prominent component of call center data is KPIs (key performance indicators). First-call resolution, average handle time, abandonment rate, and customer satisfaction scores are all popular metrics that measure performance, and in turn, customer satisfaction. If you notice some KPIs are lower than the benchmark, implement that into your customer service strategy.
Build a dream team.
The right team members make all the difference when it comes to customer service. Before you even think of customer service strategies, you need to hire staff – agents and management – that share your company values.
More people are quitting now more than ever, which makes hiring the right people critical. On top of that, call centers are notorious for high agent turnover, which will make 2022 a tough year for HR.
When looking for talent, make sure you:Define company values clearly in the interview process.
Include company culture questions in the interview to assess fit.
Provide benefits and opportunities for growth.
Deliver impeccable training and onboarding once you hire someone.Agent engagement is becoming a key metric for customer service – take care of your agents so that you can take care of your customers.
Choose the right call center technology.
Once you have clear, actionable goals and an understanding of your call center’s performance, leverage technology to improve your customer service.
Visual IVR, conversation scheduling, voice call-backs, and other call center technologies can improve metrics and increase customer satisfaction ratings.READ THE FULL GUIDE:
