Thank you Best Buy for sharing my story with the world! My little sister was playing a game online and while it was loading my commercial came up! She called me and said, “Oh my God Shirley! You are famous! I saw you! My big sister is on the internet!” Hahahaha… It made my day. )

Again, thank you! Keep up the great work! I love ALL of them! (And I get to see them for the month of September in all Best Buy stores!) Yeiiii!

“We need to do a better job of telling the people part of our story.” That comment struck a chord with me, Barry. All companies–regardless of whether you’re selling products or services, B2B or B2C–need to tell the people side of their story. Nothing you don’t already know here, but people do business with people they like. With businesses they like. Relationships sometimes trump superior products, whether we want to admit that or not. So yeah, I would completely agree, the people side of your story is tremendously important.

Here’s an example. I was at BlogWell last week and heard Scott Monty tell an incredible story about a customer who tweeted Scott asking if Ford CEO, Allan Mullaly, could give him some help in picking out a Ford. Scott took this request seriously (no surprise there). And Allan was on the phone with this customer that very Saturday (as well as a host of other Ford folks). The end result? The customer bought a Ford. But, the people side of the story is bigger than that. I’m willing to bet, based on this experience, this customer is now Ford customer for life. And he’s probably going to tell anyone who will listen the exact same thing. Heck, he already is–check out this post: http://blog.actslike.com/2009/08/10/the-art-of-leadership-a-ford-story/ (it’s an amazing story). And now, as a result, Ford is telling the story, too.

I like the spots – unfortunately, MY experience doesn’t match the great stories in the ads. I went into my local Best Buy yesterday because my FM transmitter for my Ipod died. As I stood looking at the various choices, a BB employee walked up and asked if he could help me. I told him I wanted to play my IPod in the car. He asked if I had a plug in my dashboard for the IPod. . . . . I told him “No, my car is a 2001.” He told me the ONLY way I could listen to an IPod in my car was to use the cassette adapter. . . . .

At that time, I was holding an FM Transmitter in my hands, and I showed it to him and said, “I think this will work.” He said, “No, it won’t. You have to buy the cassette adapter.”
I questioned him, so he called someone else over. THAT guy agreed with me that the FM transmitter WOULD indeed transmit from my Ipod through the radio. When I then asked THAT guy how I should figure out which one I needed, he just looked at the products on the aisle and said, “That just depends on what you like. You should just buy the one you like the best.” That’s the extent of the advice he could give me. An exact quote, “This one says it has “Clear Scan” so if you want “Clear Scan” get this one.” I wanted to know what Clear Scan was!!! He just read the box to me.

I bought one. I brought it home. It’s not what I wanted, so I will be returning it and figuring out where else to go where I can get some actual advice. I’m very disappointed.

I love these. Unfortunately, being a part of this groups shootings up in Minneapolis, I only really got to meet and spend time with Max. I love that we get to be a part of all this, and I hope I get to see myself on here sometime soon!

I’ve purchased two expensive TV’s from Best Buy. BUT, will never buy anything from Best Buy, again. You are a bunch of cowards.

Thank you for posting the YouTube Videos on Social Media. The numbers are astonishing and media is here to grow. There is however a sector that is being underserved by retailers, and I would appreciate your thoughts. Please read my latest post at http://patientsquad.blogspot.com/ I would really appreciate your feedback from the Best Buy experience. If you would like more details about our study, I can send it for your review at your convenience. Thank you.
