The global lockdowns of the past year or so have served to remind us that while digital technology and automation are essential to business continuity, there’s nothing to beat authentic connection and real relationships.
While automation and workplace management tools are a game changer in terms of the value they add by eliminating redundancies, reducing errors and increasing speed, scale and flexibility, the old programming adage “garbage in/garbage out” has never been truer than it is today.
In a world overrun by thoughtless automation, personalisation is a huge competitive advantage. Add a touch of empathy and some meaningful conversation and you can easily set your business apart from the crowd. Of course, to do this takes genuine concern and emotional intelligence.
To apply this in a business context, it is essential to:
Think about how you communicate with your potential buyers. Do you put yourself in their shoes? Do you understand their pain points and how your product or service could possibly help to solve them? Importantly, do you communicate with them in the way you would with a friend or loved one?
Change the narrative around “selling” and think about how you might approach a potential new friend. Tell your brand’s story – be passionate, enthusiastic and authentic. Share real stories and examples about customers who have been positively impacted by switching to your products.

In my mind, true success comes from taking the best of technology and applying it in a way that results in the best outcome for humanity.
