You have put a ton of effort into finding and winning those customers that you have, and now you’re just going to leave them to source their technology and services elsewhere – is that right?
You are not a Jack of all trades?
I see?
So what are you then?
Its worth thinking about isn’t it? To consider what your value proposition is to your customers and how you help them with technology and advice, so that they get the most from the investments they have made with you and appreciate your value-add for future consulting, advice and services ..
Most modern tech is business vertical agnostic, and we are seeing opportunities to help with customer engagement for many different industries. I will develop this post with different examples, but starting here with something generic.
Modern SaaS offerings can be rapidly spun up in the cloud and quickly configured to enable your customers to delight their customers.
Because Customers dislike:
- Waiting in call queues and listening to Greensleeves (a bit out of date I know, but making a point here).
- Going in circles with webchat bots that are extremely limited.
- Communication silos – messaging you via Twitter or Facebook and finding you can’t help me because it’s a departmentally “run” channel and disconnected from the business’s main operations.
- Hitting the buffers on the channel I start the conversation in, and having to start all over on a different channel or start queuing again.
- Being told that you cant talk to me.
Agents dislike
- Angry or frustrated customers “taking it out on them”.
- Repetitive and mundane engagements.
- Lack of tools to do their jobs effectively.
Organisations dislike
- Unhappy customers.
- Unhappy agents.
- High operational costs.
- High transaction costs.
- Inefficiencies.

I have been around a while and seen some stuff for sure. I have experienced some good, some bad, and some indifferent. Some have been downright fabulous.
I am still hugely motivated to get up every day and be curious. I love tech and business, and most of all dogs, oh and people are ok too ;-)
Having been in sales most of my working life, I have a real interest in the art and science and am a committed lifelong learner - constantly frustrating my kids with my stock phrase "every day is a school day"
Personally, I’m a husband to one, and father to five amazing children (none of them is now a child, but independent adults) and my golden lab, Archie, who is always pleased to see me. (edit - We said goodbye to my boy in Feb 2025, and in July 2025 we welcomed rescue "Cally" into our home and hearts - a 4 YO boxer/staffy cross, and a really sweet girl
I was blessed with becoming a Granddad in February 2021 (a very proud and somewhat besotted one) and another grandson arrived in October 2022 to keep their parents busy and for me to spoil. My second eldest then added a third to the mix, in 2026, so now a granddad to 3 fabulous boys x
I am also a mad keen lover of the oval ball game and a lifelong supporter of Leicester Tigers. As an Englishman, that's therefore England at a national level and the British and Irish Lions.
If I can be of service in any way, including any area of developing a channel sales and support business or ecosystem partnerships, and or sales coaching or development, you can find me at the link below, and contact me via the form also.
One of my favourite "quotes" is
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, with a beer in one hand, shouting "Whoo, what a ride!!"
