Why Quality Service Marketing
It’s not uncommon for managers trying to master the latest, greatest high-tech marketing tools to lose sight of a fundamental differentiator: employees’ ability to take care of customers and deliver on the brand promise. With increasing competition and workplace demands, even customer-centric companies and mission-focused nonprofits are challenged to maintain this strategic advantage.
That’s why they turn to Quality Service Marketing for help developing and engaging employees with “internal marketing” – a strategic blend of marketing and human resources that strengthens the brand from the inside out.
Best of all, you don’t need to be in Marketing or HR to use it!
