-      Everyone in the organization needs to be in alignment with the message and be able to describe the value. This applies regardless of whether someone is in a customer-facing role or not.
-      The same consistent message and experience must be delivered to internal customers (employees) as well. This will ultimately help create a better experience for internal and external customers.
-      An organization’s message must be relevant to the customer and qualifying—in that it attracts the right customers and repels the wrong customers.
-      Even if you do not interact with the customer directly, you likely interact with someone who does. It’s important to remember that the way you treat your fellow employees will be felt by customers on the outside of your organization.
-      A confused mind will not take action. Create clarity for your customers and invite them to ask questions. This strengthens the relationship your customers have with you and your company.
-      First and foremost, you must determine your company’s value proposition. Ask yourself what message you want to convey and how you provide value for your customers. This excites people and gets everyone in alignment.
-      Always give your customers a seat at the table. This will help you create your culture and deliver it in a way that makes sense to them.
