When MayeCreate opened the new Camdenton office, Stacy and Monica needed a spot to meet up in between. They lucked into a relatively new co-working space, Jefferson and High that rekindled Monica’s belief that customer service is your number one marketing tool as a small business.
So Monica invited owner, Chris Galloway, to give us a rundown of the seamless tech integrations, onboarding process and snacks 🥳 that keep his customers coming back time and time again.
If you’re craving customer service inspiration, there’s a thing or two to learn about this growing co-working space. (Warning…this episode may result in a craving for Cheetos 😂.)
