Couture Conversations: The MomBoss Manifesto podcast

15:00

Which is the difference between chat box and virtual appointment type experience? Shall companies have both? To be fully functioning they should work together in synchronicity, to create an outstanding experience for your customers. There are customers who come to your website and want to talk to someone and set up a virtual appointment with an in-store experience through live streaming. On the other side, there are customers that have a couple of questions and prefer a chat box conversation. Facilitating a luxurious experience on your website, offering help in every area is imperative to the success. When both virtual experience and chat box are available, the customer is able to select the avenue that they feel more comfortable having a conversation in.

Digital vs. Physical Luxury Experience. Part 2. 14:34

hace 2 years14:34

14:34

In the second part of the interview at Retail Remix, Olivia adds more useful insights about how to close the gap between digital and physical luxury experiences. The core benefit of digital is that it can reaffirm and amplify heritage, helping to build a long-term positioning. There are many ways brands can share their stories about what makes them unique and why customers want to be shopping with them. A one-to-many approach is fine in a social media aspect for customers to gauge information and research on the products that the company is selling, but when you're interacting with customers, a one-to-one approach has that exclusivity and luxurious feeling that customers are looking for and that can make you outstanding. Everyone in retail knows it is immensely expensive to seek new customers and return customers account for over 70% of their revenue year over year, this is where a one-to-one customer experience can also help.

Conversation Couture is the only Certification Program for the Retail industry. At the House of Retail Education we have set a new standard for anyone selling online and we are ready to set yourself up for driving and retaining the relationships with your clients. Customers really want to feel understood, but very few courses can teach you how to communicate online and create a unique and luxury customer experience. Explore All Courses 📑 In this new solo episode, Olivia Steele goes inside the different benefits and credentials of Certificates and Certifications . Many people use the terms interchangeably, but they definitely aren’t the same. Certificates can be helpful for anyone who is early on in their career or looking to learn some additional skill sets, but they do not certify you. Certifications are government approved, meaning that they can be showcased to companies at job interviews and added to the signature when reaching out to clients. There are many learning programs, but when you have to choose between Certifications and Certificates , keep in mind this question: why invest in yourself if you're not able to showcase your credentials? Be Brave. Start Learning. Want to get started in one of our programs? Explore our courses at ConversationCouture.com . 🛒 Got any questions? Email us at info@conversationcouture.com . ✉️…

The Art of Listening and Communicating Effectively. 37:18

hace 2 years37:18

37:18

We live in a time where connecting is very simple, but building an actual connection is very challenging: only 20% of people are able to connect with their customers . One of the reasons is that only 20% of the communication is verbal, all the rest is nonverbal (eye movements, lip movements, smiling or not smiling, tone of voice). Those nuances are even more difficult to understand when you interact online. Plus, of course, you have to actively listen. Conversation Couture knows how to parallel an in-person experience and we will teach it to you. It all starts with our number one program: “ The Foundation Essentials program ". This course will improve the soft skills about communication that you don’t learn at school or university and that are game changers, not only in virtual selling. It is a standalone program anybody can take. And, well, it is funny, too! Just as a reminder it includes: The Art of Listening, In-Store vs. Virtual Experience, Nonverbal Communication. The goal is clear: we will make sure that you are set up for success. Want to get started in one of our programs? Explore our courses at ConversationCouture.com . 🛒 Got any questions?

What’s the real meaning of the words “customer care”? We put so much effort into defining the “customers”: are they loyal or new, high or medium spending? As entrepreneurs and managers, we focus every day on knowing our potential and actual clients better and better. It doesn’t often happen, instead, to think about “care”: the first impression we give during an online chat conversation, if we are helpful and interesting. And, by the way, this is the only thing we can immediately and successfully improve. During their first streaming at Talk Shop Live, Olivia Steele and Emily Leavitt, the founders of Conversation Couture explain the most powerful way to care about customers . You will learn how the Conversation Couture project was born and the purpose of a luxury client experience. Want to get started in one of our programs?
