Customer Empathy Insight Research and Solutions
 


My background

I'm John Jamieson and I have a unique and interesting mix of left/right brain (analytical/creative) abilities, which have enabled me to see and work with 'the big picture'. This has led to broad experience throughout UK, Europe and USA in areas such as:

  • Customer Empathy research and consulting 
    • devised the entire Customer Empathy business model concept 
    • invented first (only?) system to objectively measure feelings: customers' or otherwise! 
  • Strategic Business 'Big Picture' consultancy 
    • Customer Service 
    • Corporate Vision/ Mission development 
    • Business Process Management/Re-engineering 
       
  • Presenting with Passion 
    • Inspirational, original presentations on Customer Service / Customer Empathy
    • I have a unique inspirational and motivational presentation skills 
      • I've often been compared to management guru Tom Peters in my own presentation style and passion of delivery! 
      • I can always be relied on for an entertaining impromptu presentation filler when required! 
    • I have helped many executives/ CEOs to get clear on their own message and learn to deliver it with passion 
    • Run 'Presenting with Passion' Training courses - for everyone (from front line to executives)
  • Marketing Technology business solutions throughout Europe 
    • As a European Marketing Manager for Wang Computer solutions I had extensive experience of marketing 'bleeding-edge' solutions to various markets and cultures 
    • and also of taking a lead in helping define the overall Wang corporate strategy and vision 

Customer Empathy

I'm particularly proud to be the originator of the concept of 'Customer Empathy' in the UK which many people have assured me has played a leading role in shifting the entire UK Customer Service industry (and possibly influenced worldwide) from being driven by what's being done to customers to how customers are being made to feel.

Way back in 1992 (with a background in Technology, Marketing and Business Re-engineering Solutions Consultancy) I sat back and wondered if companies really knew, or could appreciate, exactly how it felt to be one of their own customers. 

Despite the massive amounts of effort to improve their internal 'business processes' and staff 'training', did anyone really know (or care) how the customers actually felt about it all?

Was it even possible to objectively assess customers' feelings? As a customer myself I noticed that there were many impressions that just could NOT be disputed and so I devised both an objective "Empathy Rating"  of subjective customer feelings and an auditing process to give a deep cultural Insight into the whole Customer Experience.

Many executives in my client companies politely humoured me when they heard I had been engaged to research their 'Customer Empathy' using a revolutionary new system for objectively measuring customers' subjective feelings with the "Empathy Rating" I had invented, until, that is, they experienced for themselves what it felt like to be one of THEIR own customers (then it was usually red faces all round!)

Summary

Even though there's so much that could be written about it all, it would be much easier for us to discuss your situation and needs in areas such as:

  • Empathy Insights  
    • some immediate and direct feedback about your OWN company's Customer Empathy 
    • usually the best place to start as it gives so much immediate insight into all other areas 
  • Big Picture Consulting 
  • Strategic Visioning - discovering and refining your business Vision and Mission 
  • Presentation Development and Coaching

do give me a call.

With Customer Service, it's not all the grand things you do that makes the difference,
that makes us feel good; it's the sincerity and genuineness of your people!

"As a result of the economic slowdown, business leaders are focusing on the central role of customer service to simultaneously lower costs and build customer loyalty. The loss of a profitable customer, or a potentially profitable customer, is expensive and preventable."
29th April 2009 Michael Maoz, VP Gartner Inc. PRNewswire


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Customer Fatigue' is getting worse - we customers just won't stand for it when it's wrong, and just because it's 'right' doesn't mean we're going to stay either!

 

 

 

 


 

 ...you must know by now that Customer Satisfaction is
NO LONGER enough
... Customers have to love doing business with you!
