Sales Expert Insight interview with John Golden and Jay Baer as they cover the following points:

  • Jay Baer is the co-author of the new book Talk Triggers; it’s all about talking to customers and getting to know them. So what is the concept of Talk Triggers?
  • How does a company start to focus on customer experience and creating talk trigger moments?
  • To be effective, a talk trigger must meet four requirements: be remarkable, relevant, reasonable and repeatable. As Baer points out, this isn’t about surprise and delight and creating an amazing experience for one customer. It’s about doing something believable and unexpected that all customers can experience and talk about.

Every company can create a talk trigger. Baer recommends mapping the customer journey and identifying potential touchpoints and triggers. From there, interview new customers, long-time customers and lost customers to get their perspectives on the brand. Use that information to create something original and unexpected. What can you do that customers don’t see coming? That’s how you get them talking. Although data and technology play a huge role in customer experience, we can’t forget about the old standbys, including word of mouth.

Concept of Talk Triggers:

There is a new stat that says 82% of business to business CMOS believe that they will be competing primarily on the basis of customer experience by next year. And that makes sense because when you thought it, you sort of set your ego aside. The fact is in b2b whatever you sell; somebody else is selling something that is pretty darn similar to that. So it becomes really difficult to win on feature set or price at least over a long haul. So in a long time, Jay and his team have discovered that experience is the thing that sort of tips the balance of the scales. The word of mouth influences 91% of the b2b purchases so fundamentally everything it is also true that running a good business isn’t enough to create that customer conversation to turn customers into your greatest sales and marketing advantage.

According to Jay Baer, co-author of the new book Talk Triggers, it’s all about talking to customers and getting to know them. From there, brands can create talk triggers.
