I recently read Lisa Barone’s blog entry about how companies shouldn’t “forgot about real customer service”  and it got me thinking. In this time of social media bandwagon hopping, are we forgetting the basics? I too, leapt on, but a recent customer experience leads me to to consider an example of a company that provides great customer experiences the old fashion way.It wasn’t always like this with Cox. I remember the dark days of Cox when I was in college. Then it was long waits, poor service, and rude employees. Well I have to hand it to them. They’ve changed dramatically. Now I happily pay Cox for phone, Internet, DVR and TV. Here are some of the things they seem to do exceptionally well.

With 6 million customers, Cox Communications, in my opinion, is a company that does a fantastic job implementing strong customer experience processes.It seems others agree with my experience judging from DSL report’s ranking of cable providers

I love some of the really cool names out there like Filtrbox, Buzzstream, Viral Heat, Synthesio, Mediamiser, and Inuda Innovations, to name just a few of my favorites.  One wiki [http://wiki.kenburbary.com/.] lists 99 vendors linking themselves to this space, with seemingly new ones popping up every day. 
 
With all these companies and all this buzz, you would think there were billions of dollars in the social media monitoring space.  Truth is, there are only a few companies that are actually making money.  But based on conversations I’ve had with customers, even A-list vendors struggle to deliver value beyond the PR and Community teams, whichnot surprisingly, keeps the average price point for social media monitoring vendors down. It also keeps the analytical value down. So what’s the deal?
