What does successful business sound like?
In 2016 Jason Edge co-wrote the book on the gap between the data organisations have and the information they need. This short book applies that thinking to the oldest data stream any business owns: its conversations. Eight chapters, one audit you can run tonight, and an answer to the title question.
- 1. The Sound GapRing your own business at 5:05pm. That sound is your Sound Gap.
- 2. Nobody Can Hear the Whole CustomerThe unanswered call is the only business failure that deletes its own evidence.
- 3. Who Owns Your Voice?The conductor never makes a sound. That is what ownership means.
- 4. One Voice Is a Single Version of the TruthThe conversation is the freshest master data your business will ever hold.
- 5. The Six Qualities of a Conversation“This is the third time I’ve told you my address.” Your customers are running your data-quality audit for free.
- 6. The Algorithm Answers the PhoneNever buy a speaking machine that cannot tell you what it refuses to do.
- 7. The Thin Slice Is the TelephoneNobody rehearses the whole symphony on day one. Start with the phone.
- 8. What Successful Business Sounds LikeEvery organisation is a choir. Most have never had the rehearsal.
