Why Feedback Is the Best Gift You’ll Get in Business

In this episode of Make Good Things Happen, Angela and Renée unpack how customer-service fails (and wins) show why feedback is the best gift a small business can receive.

Make Good Things Happen, The Podcast, is a uniquely Australian podcast discussion between two best friends, both of whom have been working together amongst makers in business for almost 20 years.

Are you treating feedback like a burden, or using it to build stronger customer connections?

From a $14 “kids-cup” smoothie to a vegan pizza with no toppings, we share two real-world customer-service clangers and turn them into lessons makers can actually use. Along the way we celebrate community events, share fresh news from the craft and design world, and Angela rounds up a jam-packed week of cultural inspiration.

• Sh*t Customer Service (Two-Parter): Renee’s smoothie and sandwich saga, Angela’s Melbourne trip of queues, hotels and restaurants and how customer service could have turned it around.
• Events Breakdown: A recap of the Crafting Conversation: Jewellers Edition panel in Ballarat, and a look ahead to November’s Artists Edition.
• Making News: From Made590’s new sticker range and Sydney Craft Week to CJ Hendry’s DIY product photography and Maryanne Moodie’s workshops return.
• This Week I: Angela’s cultural whirlwind : exhibitions by Tim Gresham and Bren Luke, NGV’s French Impressionism, Bangarra Dance Theatre’s Illume, and the Makers Film Festival at the Rare Trades Centre.
