“5 Ways To Create a Wow! Customer Experience” With Ed Castro of of Sage Consulting Group

Set the right expectations for your customers. When I first started out, I was working on a campaign for a dating website. The client did not mention any website issues but mentioned their top concern was their digital marketing campaigns (Google Ads campaigns) dropping sharply in performance. When we discussed the project, I took them at their word and did not ask the deeper questions that would have gotten to the root of the problem. I accepted the project and reassured them I would be able to get their account back on track in no time. Well, I was very wrong. It turned out they were having website engagement issues I wasn’t aware of, which greatly impacted anything I could do with their digital marketing campaigns. The project turned out to be a complete disaster. If I would have gathered more information prior to getting started, I would have approached the project differently from the beginning and I may have been able to save it.
