Is outsourcing customer service to people that can't empathize or problem solve an @Adobe strategy?

[Thomas Ballantyne @Thos003]

So @SEMrush has a 4 page cancellation process? ... Page one said "What do you want to cancel?" With option "Cancel All"... that should have been sufficient, and I thought it was.

... instead I got hit a few days later and they refuse to refund it.

Your website seems to be having some issues. @BalletArizona

The paid ad hits a “not found” #404 page. And this page from the home page link doesn’t pull up either.

Hope that helps.

I’m doing it. Starting a #hashtag Here it is #truebutnotdirty Who is ready to join the fun/mess that is about to happen??

Meeting went great yesterday as far as I can tell. No booing happened during my presentation. Which means they were an intelligent audience, cause if I hadn’t gotten a single laugh I’d have definitely booed them. 🫣

Until next time my new @Yelp friends.

@poppupwriter D&D?? Cool. My son just introduced me to AIdungeon. It’s not bad. You should check it out. My handle is the same there.

Learning what Yelp is doing with #AI for users is interesting. And perhaps scary where this could end up.

How comfortable will consumers be and businesses be with using their conversations as data for AI?

How do win leads on @Yelp? Here is what Yelp is saying wins leads:

- Speed to Lead
- Personalization
- Share Detailed Quotes
- Set “What happens next?”

Yelp is showing data on how they have increased demand therefore suppling more leads, and presenting the areas where they are lowering the cost for their clients.

Great way to build trust @Yelp

That question is open for all in #Digital #Marketing.

Healthy debate on if we (advertising clients) are ante-upping because the risk and reward in digital is worth it, or are we being forced to pay more because they (advertising companies) are getting greedier.

[Thomas Ballantyne @Thos003]

Q: Is the increase in spend due to demand or due to digital advertising simply costing more now? Is it because PPC grew in all industries on average by 10% last year??
