Hitting the Road to Learn Your Business
When I think of “member engagement” for AEM, my first thought always goes back to a TV commercial from United Airlines. I’m sure many of you remember it. Company executives are sitting around a conference table bemoaning how they lost a key customer. The boss gets up and hands out airline tickets (in United ticket folders of course) to his executive team. When they look surprised, he explains that they are going to get out there to meet with their customers, including the one they just lost, to take the time to learn what these customers want.
