  • 49. Recall Technology w/Christopher Drury - Blount Fine Foods

    ⚙SUNDAY SNEAK PEEK: This week we’ve got my colleague, Christopher Drury, Director of Customer Care at Blount Fine Foods BACK on the My Curious Colleague podcast. Our conversation is 3rd in our series on the “R” word (yes, Recalls..), BUT this time we’re focusing on the Technology side of Recalls.

    🤔THINK – Four different touchpoints along the Recall Communication Journey where technology can be enabled – we’re talking:

    ✔Traceability Reporting

    ✔Disabled Microsite Websites at the ready

    ✔The benefits of Self Service/BOTs

    ✔Reporting Technology built for Internal & Regulatory usage

    Chris and I share an interest– the love of learning 👨🏼‍🎓 AND sharing. To loosely quote Chris – “when you share, everyone benefits.” I’m so hear for that..!

    💜 So… thank you Chris for joining me on S3 Ep49 on the My Curious Colleague podcast...

  • 48. (Redux) Krystle Dowling-Career Impact: Consumer Affairs Role to Sr. Consumer Insights Leader

    💦SUNDAY SNEAK PEEK: On this steamy 85 degree Sunday in Cleveland, I thought I'd share a refreshing Redux of my episode with my colleague Krystle Dowling, who I was lucky enough to have worked with back when... Enjoy...!

    *************************************

    I’m kicking off a new series this week where I’ll be focusing on guests’ sharing how their direct experience working in the Consumer Care function impacted their career path and perspectives of consumers.

    My guest is my colleague, Krystle Dowling, Sr. Consultant-Consumer Insights. Krystle & I worked together in Consumer Affairs at Campbell Soup where Krystle was a Sr. Analyst on our Reporting Team and we all benefitted from her penchant for “finding opportunities” and impacting the marketplace.

    💜 She has since gone on to continue to broaden her industry knowledge and deepen her consumer insights expertise. So… thank you Krystle for joining me on S3 Ep33 on the My Curious Colleague podcast...

    Here’s a brief video snippet from Krystle’s interview. So check it out – then come back here for links (in the comments) to the FULL episode of the podcast.

  • 47. Neal Topf, President Callzilla BPO on Book Chapter's intent and his hope for you & CX

    ⛳SUNDAY SNEAK PEEK...! This week I talk with my colleague, Neal Topf…He’s a BPO owner, self-titled Iconoclast & Existentialist, and now! a first time published co-author…!  On Tuesday I'll be posting S3 Ep47 of the My Curious Colleague podcast with Neal – President, Callzilla.

    📚Neal is a Chapter contributor to the book titled “Customer Experience4”. His chapter is called “Fireside Chats – What Customer Experience Podcasting Can Teach Us.”

    We chat about how he got “tapped” to contribute, his experience sitting down & actually writing for the book (sounds tough!) and explains his intent with some of the nuggets you can expect from his Chapter...

    🤔THINK: Why he feels empathy might be… “cute” (I was a bit shocked by that one… but hear him out), what the 2020 Rage Study can teach us, and his thoughts for the reader about the future of CX.

    So, come back here on Tuesday 5/10/22 to listen in on S3 Ep47 wherever you get your #podcasts.

  • 46. Mock Recalls with Jon Cox and Richard Wakeanda, both from the Wellness Pet Company

    ⭐SUNDAY SNEAK PEEK: My guest this week is my colleague Jon Cox…and he’s Back! but this time he brought a friend - - his colleague Richard Wakeanda (Food Safety/QA Leader). And we’re talking “Mock Recalls”.

    So interesting to get the QA perspective AND the Consumer Affairs POV. These 2 colleagues allow me to get into the details – which you know I love.

    🤔THINK –

    ✔Reasons to conduct a Mock Recall (they’re not universally mandatory)

    ✔Best Practices galore re: Steps to INITIATE & EXECUTE a Mock Recall

    ✔Checklist of sorts on what gets done & what doesn’t in a Mock Recall (vs. an actual Event).

    You may remember Jon from S3 Ep35 on the My Curious Colleague #podcast when he bravely spoke to me about the “R” word – yes, Recalls.  Jon is Sr. Manager, Consumer Affairs | Marketing at the Wellness Pet Company. Link to this great primer here: (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s3-ep35-a-recall-101-of-sorts-w-jon-cox-sr/id1565590157?i=10005504309

    Jon currently serves as @SOCAP International Chairperson. He’ll be at the SOCAP Symposium in 🌴 Phoenix, AZ - May 1st thru 3rd, 2022 – do say hello.

    💜 So… thank you Jon and Richard for joining me on S3 Ep46

    We chat about this little gem: Dan will be taking the stage for the 1st time at the SOCAP International (Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals) Symposium as the Keynote Speaker on Monday, 5/2 at The Wigwam Resort in Phoenix, AZ.

    https://dangingiss.com/the-experience-maker-register/
    I try to get the details/sneak peek of his content for you for the Symposium -- he’ll talk about his latest book “The Customer Experience Maker: How to create remarkable experience that customers can’t wait to share”* with stories and examples to get you thinking about your organization… AND, there's more…
    ...He weaves in his tips & guidance from his other book “Winning at Social Customer Care: How top brands create engaging experiences on social media” which is uber relevant to Consumer Care Professionals.
    Doing “a lot of speaking” is what Dan loves and is passionate about. He really “loves to inspire people and teams” which is perfect because Dan is the Key Note Speaker and as we discuss -that energy & excitement he builds will help set the tone for the Symposium…!
