“Customer service is one of our Superpowers,” says Jimmy. In part 2, Jimmy Kim, CEO and Co-Founder of Sendlane, says debt is not horrible when used to save a brand from giving away control.
Brands need to figure out their customers’ interests. People interested in the brand's mission will continue to engage even though they may not be making a purchase. According to him, today, customers want to know about the story, see content, and be in a community.
He advises brands to test and try many creative things to retain and acquire customers while staying committed. Making sure the right emails to the right people are sent is important. Providing brands the ability to have several store instances (base feature), having a great customer success team, easy use, and building out their infrastructure are Sendlane’s Superpowers.
He discusses:
* Advise around debt
* Recommendation for growth
* About Sendlane
* Sendlane Superpowers
* Their ideal customer

0:07.7 | This is not your average entrepreneur or e-commerce podcast. |
0:11.6 | And he's not your average host. |
0:14.0 | This is the story of a brand with your host, Ramon Vela. |
0:21.6 | I just think consumers need to know this or brand owners need to know this. |
0:24.6 | The fact that you have this built in is freaking phenomenal. |
0:28.6 | So I just want to, that's all I want to say. |
0:30.6 | Yeah, and to your point, Romo, it doesn't cost you anything extra to do this. |
0:33.6 | It's just part of our platform, part of the normal cost, and you will see significant savings |
0:37.9 | as opposed to getting a bunch of instances as well, too. |
0:41.0 | The second superpower I like to talk about is our customer success or customer service on our |
0:45.4 | side. There's something that I, you know, I read a book and, you know, RIP to Tony Shea, who |
0:50.0 | was, you know, a life founder, Zappos, But I read his book back in 2011, Delivery Happiness. |
0:54.9 | And that book spoke to me in such different ways that I could continue to think over and over |
0:59.4 | again. |
0:59.6 | But I truly believe that in order to be a great company, it's not about just the customer |
1:04.8 | success that you provide to your current customers, but to your future customers and the |
1:08.2 | customers that have left you are just as much as well, too. |
1:10.6 | So we really boast a lot of customer success. |
1:12.6 | From, you know, things that this is all included, doesn't cost an extra center dollar, |
