Introduction of... me!

My name is Anu Majkvist. I'm an entrepreneur and networking nerd.

I have started and owned different comapnies, in different areas, mostly within B2B.
My full-time job today is running my firm Eldstaden- where I coach and speak about entrepreneurship and career development. I coach mostly business owners, start-ups, executives and employee-groups.

My whole life I have worked in service, from grocery store, cleaning lady and shop assistant  to waitress, bar tender and croupier. Later I have worked as HR-manager, market developer, KAM, consultant etc. I offer courses in customer service and relationship marketing. I love customer service and I'm very interested in what makes a happy, an loyal, customer.

My academic background is a BBA degree from Göteborg University School of Economy and business administration. Further I've studied work and organizational psychology, gender studies and innovation. Currently besides the course on understanding customer experience, I'm taking a course in "Basics of Lean".

When I don't work or study (which leave only few hours left on my day), I take my 9-year old daughter and 13-year old son to their soccer, breakdance and floor ball training, help my husband to run his restaurant, or just enjoy a short quiet moment in my garden in Varberg in Swedish West Coast.

A visit to a funeral agency

Due to a recent personal loss, last week I visited a funeral agency. Since this visit for obvious reasons is very much on top of my mind, I will take this opportunity to reflect upon the physical space and servicescape of the funeral office. This being my first visit to a funeral office, I did not know what to expect, more than what I had seen on tv, or a different kind of agency (general script). Physical space: The office entrance was discrete with a small waiting room. The office space had a clean scandinavian design. There were two private offices. An agent geeted us by the door, and was kind to squeeze us in on a short notice. The office room was small and overfurnished, filld with piles of paper. But there was a shelf of miniatures of coffins, which made it easier for us to pick the right model, according to our budget.   Digital space: The agent used their web page as a reference, a lot of information and their enlisted products and services where easily accessed.

Moduel 4 about customer interractions

In the coming blogs and in the course we will dive into the exciting world of customer interactions. This I believe really is the core of any business: the customer and the service provider interracting with each other. I’m looking forward to learn about the theories connected into customer interraction.  Having worked in customer service my whole life (since I was 14, and still going strong!) I have decades of emiprical experience on the subject. I absolutely love meeting and talking to my customers. My style of service is personal, engaging and preferably humoristic, when applicable.  Although I consider myself being a person who gets along with everyone, I still meet an angry or dissatisfied customer every now and then. The challenge is to try to change their perspective, and make things right. 99 times out of 100 it works out well. I’m looking forward to read about the academics point of view when it comes to good practises in customer interraction, and what to do when thin

Resource integration and servicescapes

Resource integration gives a new perspective to how the customer's are affected and co-create value to the product or service. In her tutorial video, assistant professor Maria Åkesson decribes resource integration as how the customers interact with each other in the servicescape. Very little of this process can be influenced by the firm (open part), most of the resource integration happens without the firm's inclunece, only on the customer's terms (closed part). Customer for instance uses resources before and after a direct contact with the firm, such as finding information online, or asking friends for advice. Here the firm's assignment is to make the resources as user-friendly as possible. In a restaurant this could be easy-to-find-menus and other information on web-sites and the social media. The word of mouth becomes a useful tool, when the restuarants reputation is on the top. Other customers recommend the place to their friends, and talk about in positive terms
