The Power Of Brand Advocates

 

What would it mean for your bottom line if you were able to build a team of  10, 50, 100, 1000 sales reps, for free?

These folks are your most highly satisfied clients who share positive information about your products and services without being asked or paid to do so. They influence 20-50% of all purchases and generate over $6 trillion in consumer spending each year.

Ellen Shocks Waitress Who Delivers Great Service

A 22 year-old waitress overheard a pair of National Guard membersF5bd9939 63d7 463b 9631 1725d698fb1c, The DiJulius Group discussing the fact they needed to limit their lunch order due to the United States federal government shutdown, which left these women without their usual paychecks and struggling to feed themselves and their families. Instead of handing the soldiers their bill, she handed them a handwritten note: “Thanks to the government shutdown, the people like you that protect this country are not getting paid. However, I still am. Lunch is on me! Thank you for serving ladies!”  It wasn’t long before Ellen DeGeneres heard the story and invited Sarah onto her show to pay her back the $27.75 but that wasn’t all she had planned.
