Rob La Gesse

I work for a great company. One that worked for me for 6 years first. But my opinions on this Twitter account are mine alone.
Yeah, so I sent this to my CEO. He’s an awesome Racker. “My job is most awesome. Totally fucking awesome.” #lovemyjob

Still, after all of these years serving customers, I feel a personal sense of failure when I just can’t satisfy them. I despise losing.

To everyone spouting political affiliations. Please stop. WE can change things. Or we can be lazy. But it is WE - not a freaking party
If employees do not add joy to you, or you joy to them - then don;t manage people. People deserve humanity.
“Hope you sleep well. I know you are awake, but if you respond you owe me $20” - Yeah. I love sending emails like that to my employees.
Republicans seem to be winning much tonight. How will they deliver differently, if at all? Will be painful to watch.
Once again Americans express their displeasure with our elected (and soon to be elected) officials. Once again, I expect nothing to change.

When is the last time a politician addressed you as if you were a customer? #custserv
There is no upside to sharing my political opinions on social. Mostly because I think all politicians are tools, or will become tools.
A9 - The downside is if you care much and you are allowed to do little. That is complete suck. Empowerment is important. #custserv
A8: I have made the most amazing friends that have helped me help others. Relationships are the most significant win I’ve had. #custserv
A7: I try to use what I know to benefit my customers. And they will know that I know about them. We all know that #custserv
A7 - First. let us ALL admit that we have personal information on customers. #custserv
A6 - you bet your ass I do - and I use it to my advantage whenever I can because it helps humanize me. #CustServ
A5: Probably more than we can support perfectly and definitely not as many as we should. Resource constraints are always a bitch. #custserv
RT @AlHopper_: A4 I've found that I've made friends before finding out they are customer. I'm not saying it was me, but always a nice surprise. #custserv
A4 - Oh hell yes. I have customers I met on social, moved to real life, then became part of my life. Looking at you, @Faisal :) #custserv
If you ask a pure-play marketer from your company to share two great customer relationships - can they? #custserv
RT @RoyAtkinson: A3: A key element of engagement is having customers interact with each other (like they can in forums or on FB for example). #custserv
A3: Engagement is just a really long word for “love”. And yes, we want our customers to love us because we earn it. #CustServ
I think Social will be the main, and most used method of seeking support - in just a couple years. Best to prepare for it. #custserv
A2: If you are not, what ARE you doing on Social? And Why? If you are not building relationships, hire help - you need it. @custserv
I must admit, most “Engagement Strategies” I see are in fact, “reactionary tactics” #CustServ
A1- I talk to customers wherever they feel like talking. Social, phone, Skype, tickets. Engage them where they are comfortable #custserv
“@AlHopper_: #custserv #PSA please hold all links, promos, pics, & selfies until the last 5 minutes of the hour.” <- And Politics, please!
“@DerekMoyes: That's some storm!! http://t.co/xaN6tVPAfl” <- And Castle Hills is ground zero for me. Raining hard as heck here now.
Weather guy just said. “100% of showers”. I honestly do not remember the last time we had a 100% chance of rain. #goodstuff
