A New Door, A New Opportunity
Though milkmen may seem like a static concept from the past, their sales approach was dynamic enough to make many of today's companies jealous. Each new door received its own sales pitch based on information about the customer's previous purchases. Milkmen also had their entire inventory to hand and could respond to customer desires on the spot. To open new doors, today's marketing teams should strive to achieve the same adaptability and rapid reaction times as was the norm back then. How can you achieve that, though?
Connected Everywhere and Always
Marketers are looking for the products and platforms required to transform their business into a customer-focused company, while also enabling employees to respond to that same customer's needs virtually without delay. The concept of recording data is definitely here to stay as well, but this practice is only useful if it is linked to insight and used as a basis for appropriate action.
To remain competitive, the best strategy is to create responsive teams that can rapidly process information and customer requests. Marketers are increasingly turning to the cloud, as it enables them to create a flexible environment for everyone to collaborate on key projects and efficiently streamline campaigns. In a world where the idea of '9 to 5' is starting to disappear, marketers must be able to stay connected and collaborate anywhere and at any time.
The ultimate goal is to evolve into a sort of (milk)bot that automatically responds to any customer request. Linking data-generated insight to artificial intelligence can create unparalleled, unique and compelling brand experiences for customers. ‘Automated delivery’ of messages can be fine-tuned until it feels like a personal conversation. Achieving this requires an unprecedented level of cooperation, efficiency and insight.
