    Customer Service: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    Send us Fan Mail I'm sharing a frustrating refrigerator delivery as a real-life lesson in how communication can shape—or damage—a customer’s entire experience. In this episode, Pam discusses: Every customer interaction is a first impression. Third-party vendors still reflect your brand. Clear, honest communication matters. Customer service teams need communication training. Companies should review the “first mile,” not just the last mile. Strong customer service means treating people with respect, cutting through the clutter and doing everything possible to resolve the issue the first time.   Is your company saying the same things over and over but the message isn't getting through to your staff or clients? It seems like a great time to schedule a Communications Audit and make sure your messaging is clear to everyone.  Let's schedule a time to talk if you are interesting in supporting your staff.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To contact Pam about conducting a session for your company, email her at pam@pamelalippitt.com or connect on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelalippitt or visit www.pamelalippitt.com Pamela Lippitt is CEO and Chief Communicator of Pamela Lippitt Communications (formerly Hill Street Group) is a public speaker, workshop trainer and helps people improve their communication skills.

    Why speaking is so important, especially for women with guest, Bobbie Carlton

    Send us Fan Mail This week, Pam is joined by Bobbie Carlton of Innovation Women. Learn all about why Bobbie considers Innovation Women including Speaker Friend Fridays is indeed her Dream Job. Key takeaways this week – Getting more women on stages presenting at conferences and programs. Matches have been made between women and conference stages in the 1000’s but the needle still isn’t moving from 1/3 women vs 2/3 men. If you are event organizer – please invite new people to speak each year. And, women need to do a better job bringing other women into the mix.  Sadly, ½ of event organizers don’t have a speaker budget for speaking or expenses. The episode includes some really good tips if you are trying to get on stage, or if you have secured a space and now have to advertise it in the conference information. You can turn into a great speaker, listen to Bobbie share how to start.
