		<description>This is really good advice. The underlying understanding with it is, that once we know what&#039;s our ideal customer we have to accept the fact we can&#039;t satisfy everyone.

You have to know exactly who you&#039;re targeting and be as specific in your marketing as possible.

This also allows us to connect with our customers better because we design marketing in a way that perfectly suits their needs.

		<description>I love this idea.  It very much personalizes the customer experience for the &#039;inside&#039; people. And it will be interesting to see if relationships with some of our &#039;tougher&#039; customers softens up when we have their pictures up on the customer service bulletin board and when we engage our people in learning more about our customers.  Thanks!</description>

		<description>Phenomenal Grade A article for sure. I think a large percentage of the marketing community put themselves first and the customer 2nd. I think sometimes its easy to do that in this field because most of the time you don&#039;t deal with the consumer face to face. It really has become a dirty game trying to fill up that sign up sheet and the thing that should come first is the person&#039;s best interest.</description>

		<description>I just presented a new marketing plan to a client - and a big piece of the program is knowing and understanding your customer. We all need to know what they buy, how the buy, and what motivates them to buy.

I encourage most clients to add a blog to their web strategy - allows them to be more interactive with their market. They often come back and say they don&#039;t have enough content to have a blog make sense.

I always tell them to blog about their customers. Share special stories about them and their customer experience. Just another way to know them better...</description>
