- Invest in building a strong company culture that values employee input and creativity. Crewfair maintains a remote team of 50 employees who are encouraged to share ideas and collaborate on projects.
- Use technology to improve the customer service experience, but don’t replace human touchpoints entirely. While Crewfair uses chatbots and other technology to enhance customer experience, they recognize the importance of a human touch in handling customer concerns and accommodating last-minute changes.
- Prioritize transparency and authenticity in your interactions with customers. Crewfair’s founders recorded the questions they didn’t know the answers to and focused on being organic and authentic in their interactions, which helped build customer trust and loyalty.
- Start small and test your idea through networking and building relationships. The founders launched their initial website with minimal functionality. As demand rose, they invested more in technology and people to achieve goals. Put perfection aside and begin your passion projects, side hustle, or new full time business.
