Are Today’s Remote Work Challenges New Issues or Magnified Versions of the Same Culture Issues from the Office? My recent LinkedIn Poll results are telling: Poll Results: Of the 75 people that responded, 68% agree remote work challenges are just magnified versions of the issues that existed in the office already.

I was recently hired as a keynote speaker to talk to a group of financial advisors about client service. One of the topics of the meeting was a discussion about why a client would leave. The most obvious reason might be that the financial advisor gave bad advice, and the client lost money. But let’s assume the advisor is smart, the advice is sound, and the return on investment meets expectations.

I recently saw a picture of an old Steak ‘n Shake restaurant. It reminded me of when my grandparents used to take me to Steak ‘n Shake every Sunday for lunch. As a kid, I loved their slogan, which was a rhyme: “In Sight, It Must Be Right.” The slogan originated from the restaurant’s founder, Gus Belt, who would bring a barrel of steaks into the restaurant and grind them into burgers in front of the customers.

Imagine this … you’re running tight on time for a meeting and want to grab a cup of coffee. Do you choose to stop at the café that serves delicious coffee and has the friendliest barista but a long line, or do you use the office machine that serves an acceptable, decent cup in under a minute? If, on that day, time is important and you don’t want to make others wait, the answer is probably the fastest – as in more convenient – choice, not the best coffee or the friendliest service.

Cost isn’t the only means of competition either. Larger companies are often able to bargain for less expensive variable costs with their suppliers – and thus, are more readily able to lower prices.

Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
