I hate to burst his bubble, but management feels the same about paying for marketing as they do for paying for sales. It's practically the same thing, when it comes down to it.
I'm all about good customer service, but relabeling it on the expense sheets is not going to change anything.
- paraschopra 15y agoIt changes how you look at the expenses. An extra dollar to more marketing isn't always necessarily frowned upon. But an extra dollar to a cost is always considered avoidable.
- anigbrowl 15y agoNot as much as losing a liability lawsuit. Good customer service is partly a marketing exercise - in the sense of spending some resources on avoiding negative publicity. But shuffling it around from one cost center to another is essentially a form of defining the problem away, and it's not a good foundation to build on. 'Sure, you feel unhappy with our product now, but try thinking of yourself as being happy instead.' If you define it as marketing then you're just going to get a customer service experience featuring relentlessly happy people who refuse to admit the product could have any shortcomings.
