					<description><![CDATA[The ultimate expressions of gratitude online today...even better than a thumbs up or a barrage of fire emojis, are reviews and ratings.

Have you thanked someone for great service? Have you told someone’s boss that they have a stellar employee? I’ve worked in both sales offices and call centers. Customers rarely call support or sales to offer a compliment or say thank you. We reach out to complain when things don't go as expected. As a result, businesses work hard to survey customers and solicit feedback. How much does your business benefit from good ratings or positive reviews?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’m perplexed by the disconnect between customer community and sales. Does your business connect community interaction to the sales process? How are you doing it? What are your results? The keys to understanding your customer’s journey and having your sales team meet its quota can be found in your customer community.
