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.

Influnece and Influencers.

I'm looking forward to diving into the theories and examples about influence. Having read Cialdini's book: Influence: Science and practice I'm awed at how we are suckers for easy tricks! Flattery, social approval, copying others or wanting what we can't have are all easy and often transparent ways of influencing, yet we fall for it almost every time. My least favourite example is telephone salespeople: I simply hate it when someone calls me on the phone, interrupts me at my work or at home, tells me about a product or a service I'm not interested and I don't want. Still, too many times I end up saying yes to buying one, or signing up to a subscription! After the phone call I always curse to myself for being a sucker and not having learnt to say no! So this module I suppose will include a lot of soul searching, and hopefully I will learn some tool to you so that I want fall into the same trick again, at least not every time.... I'm also looking forward ...

influencing the restaurant customer

Here is a couple of ways we could use the principles of persuasion to improve customer experience in our restaurant: Authority: the chef could present the menu, preferably in person by the table in and tell something about for instance how the food is prepared. Or if the chef is not available in person e could write a description or a story about the menu composition in the menu for the customer to read about. Our sommelier can organize wine/beer/spirit tasting and tell about the products qualities. This engages the customer and at the same time educates/gives new information about the product while offering a pleasant customer experience. Scarcity: We can offer menus or drinks for limited time only. For instance special menu for Easter, Mother´s day, midsummer or Christmas. Also in the bar we can offer beer of the month, cocktail of the month or other special limited time offers. Food or drinks can also be offered on season, for instance fresh berries during the summer or m...

Making a customer happy

Lars E Olson: describes how positive emotions lead to: purchase decisions, loyalty and well—being. When we feel positive about the customer experience, it is easier for us to make the choice of purchase, further we feel loyal to the brand or product and stay loyal to it. Finally, we experience higher well-being.     Olson presents as the determinants of subjective wellbeing : ·          45% consist of personal characteristics (personality, genes) ·          45% how we spend our time (activities, behaviour, everyday life, goal process) ·          10% social & economic factors (gender, age, cohabiting. children, income, employment, education) In this perspective, it would be more useful to focus on understanding the customer’s personality and time-spending activities than social and economic factors, which are often more in focus when ana...
