Marketing Minute: Rick

The Blue Angels, for all their perfection (flying 18 inches away from each other in aerial shows let alone missions) always debrief after flights. They review everything from the minute they get on the tarmac, to when the jet is returned to the hangar. Pilots take responsibility for their actions and ownership of improvements they will make.

Much like business should with their customers. Even as things seem to be going well, a good practice is to review and decide on actions that can be taken to make customer experiences exceed their expectations.

Watch the Blue Angels video.
