A Transaction Isn't an Exchange of Goods (Feat. Romain Lapeyre, Gorgias)

Superseding Customer Relationships 
  • "Relationship supersedes brand" is a phrase that we've often said on the podcast, but Phillip is calling this into question.
  • A transaction doesn’t have to be an exchange of goods or monetary. It can be influence, it can be power dynamics, it’s identity exchange.
  • “What often is overlooked is the employee experience in delivering service and support. It's never been more important than it is today.” -Phillip
  • Getting customer service right during post purchase is important and solidifies loyalty, but prepurchase is just as important. 
  • “The role of a customer support agent is morphing into something else: a brand ambassador. Someone that has to be on brand, someone that has to represent the brand well as they interact with the customer.” -Brian
  • Brands are changing their view of what brand ambassadors can be. 
  • “We're all consuming more and we're all participating in commerce more because commerce touches everything.” -Phillip 
  • “The whole focus we have at Gorgias is let's automate. Let's focus on self-serve so that we can transfer all of the human time towards those valuable conversations.” -Romain
