  • 61. Maxine Weber's Secret for Extraordinary Employee Experience at Contact Center- DSBQ Double Secret Bonus Question

    Technically this is Maxine Weber's DOUBLE, DOUBLE Secret Bonus Question (DDSBQ). Maxine is a Former CX leader and Director of Marketing, Nutraceuticals at Ashland .  You may remember her from her last episode: S3 Ep55 Impact of a Consumer Affairs role can Have on one's Career Journey.

    She spills the tea on how she approached the employee experience for her Contact Center front line folks resulting in the lowest attrition rates per program for her BPO. HINT: Max was ahead of her time in truly embracing work/life balance much before hybrid work became common place. And, she explains the reason behind her long time experience in Food & Beverage, across B to C and now a B to B organization.  

    Thanks Max! and Thanks to you all for Listening and Supporting the My Curious Colleague -the Podcast.

  • 60. Tracking 2022 & beyond Home & Kitchen Trends Impacting Consumers & Consumer Care wJane Freiman -Owner, Smart Kitchen Insights
    My Curious Colleague, the PODCAST, is back for Season 4...! I'm kicking off Season 4 with my colleague, Jane Freiman, - Owner, Smart Kitchen Insights. She shares Home & Kitchen Trends she's been tracking. You may remember her from Episode #28 (Dec 2021) when she was on the podcast and is back to update us on some of those trends PLUS share some new ones. 
    I love this idea of keeping our listeners close to trends which may trickle down to impact the Consumer and -- ultimately impact the Consumer Care function.
    Thanks for listening...!

    Our next Double Secret Bonus Question (DSBQ) episode on the My Curious Colleague Podcast this week features my colleague @Beth Ziff, EVP of Customer Engagement at Premiere Response.

    My DSBQ to Beth is trying to find out her secret for being so effortlessly “steady in a recall” (she refers to them as “high volume events” because they could be positive...so true!).

    Beth reveals certain steps regarding People, Process & Platforms that guides her calmness and she believes- if followed- will guide her clients during this busy time caring for their consumers.

    💜 Thank you Beth for joining me on S3 Ep59 coming out officially this Tuesday, 8/2/22, on the My Curious Colleague #podcast.

  • 58. Customer Experience Strategy featuring Craig Antonucci, CXO at Autocar Trucks
    Say hello to S3 Ep58 of the My Curious Colleague podcast with my guest, @Craig Antonucci, Chief Experience Officer (CXO) at AutoCar Trucks.
    After many years on the BPO/vendor side. Craig found himself in 2021 with an opportunity that he couldn’t refuse – and made the move over to the “Client side” as well as made the move to Birmingham, Alabama by way of NJ!
    We talked about AutoCar Truck’s business model – which is a little complex – production of customized vehicles/fleets and providing customized experience consistently across his customers.
    And we chatted about how Craig gleaned his understanding of the CPG world from our industry group colleagues and how that is influencing his approach to his customer experience strategy.
    So, do listen in to S3 Ep58 wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you Craig…!

  • 57. Start-up | Insights platform for DTC Story telling featuring Andy Greenawalt, CEO & Co-founder at Storyhub.ai
    This week my guest is my colleague @Andy Greenawalt, CEO and Co-Founder at the start-up Storyhub.ai.  We share an interest in finding insights lurking in consumer data. His start-up is focused on “helping mission driven DTC companies”.
    I ask Andy why Story Telling is an ideal way to communicate findings and the why behind his focus on DTC orgs (vs. say… large classic CPG organizations). While Storyhub is considered a start-up, I did get probe for you to get a sense of the vision and approach to disparate data pieces that his team is building.
     
    So... check out S3 Ep 57 of the My Curious Colleague #podcast with Andy available on Tuesday.

  • Ep 55 Maxine Weber [Career in Consumer Relations impact] VP Marketing & a former CX Leader
    ✨My colleague Maxine Weber, Director of Marketing, Nutraceuticals at Ashland is a fabulous addition to my series on “How a stint in Consumer Affairs impacted one’s career journey”
    In between deep CPG Marketing and now B to B Marketing, Maxine had the unique opportunity to lead -at the same time- both Consumer Affairs & Regulatory Affairs. And led she did…!
    🤔 THINK: what’s she leveraged from her consumer affairs experience into her more recent roles – some will surprise you, the reason behind her career focus on Food & Beverages (I’m obsessed w/F&B too…!) and why she delved head first into a Consume Affairs industry group (both positive & kinda funny lessons learned).
     
    So... check out S3 Ep 55 of the My Curious Colleague #podcast with Maxine

    🏄🏼‍♂️ Have you met my DOUBLE SECRET BONUS QUESTION (DSBQ) 🔐episodes on the My Curious Colleague podcast…? Something new I’ve started where I get a chance to go a little off Full Episode topic and ask questions that my guests have a unique POV on…
    Listen to S3 Ep54 with Tom Asher, VP of Customer Support at Twist Bioscience who joins me for the DSBQ. We dig into his non-corporate journey to “finding” Consumer/Customer Care as a profession.
    🌲 Okay…this guy is drawn to cutting edge organizations that were ahead of their time such as hemp/sustainable clothing and early “e-commerce” (think: catalogues) to name a few.
    💜Also, he was ahead of time with embracing the notion of “Operationalizing Love” as a Leadership style (frankly, I think he may have coined the phrase, but he’s non-pulsed when I try share that accolade w/him).
    So listen in to S3 Ep 54 of the My Curious Colleague #podcast DSBQ w/Tom Asher. Brief snippet below for your listening. Thanks Tom...!
