DIRECTV Perks!

-

 This week I made my first trek through Northern Arkansas since 2019.  I didn't support this region in the past but now I do.  Many thanks to the Embassy Suites in Rogers for having me. No conferences this week at the hotel, but lots of student athletes.  It's always sports season in Arkansas. 

I had an unexpected gift of sharing breakfast with former Governor Asa Hutchinson who is local to this area. We had a great conversation about Northern Arkansas' growth in recent years, his plans now that he's out of office, and NO, I did not bring up his recent presidential campaign or even politics in general.  Asa is a very smart man, and very humble.

One of the reasons I always stay with Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott Hotels when I travel is because of the perks they offer their frequent and corporate travelers. As a Lifetime Platinum Elite Member of Marriott I get an early check-in, 400pm checkout, Food and beverage credits, executive lounge access, and room upgrades. My rooms are upgraded on almost every visit. 

My family always shops at the same grocery store because we get free gasoline when we purchase goods for our family.  Most all of our local coffee shops have rewards programs. Starbucks, SBC, Dutch Brothers, all have competitive plans to attract and keep business. Movie theaters have VERY competitive rewards programs designed to keep the consumer engaged with their brand.

I am proud to announce that DIRECTV has launched DIRECTV PERKS! Our Loyalty program is easy to use, easy to understand, and offers substantial rewards for our valued customers. Simply browse to www.perks.directv.com and sign up.  You can earn tokens that can be used for all kinds of rewards.  I know our marketing team worked on this program for a very long time.  Congratulations to all of our team members who were responsible for this monumental loyalty offering. I believe this will translate into higher customer satisfaction ratings, lower churn numbers, and most of all the opportunity for DIRECTV to say "Thank you" to our valued customers. I hope you will accept my personal invitation to check out our new loyalty program.

The Challenge

Welcome to Spring! Showers, showers everywhere with tornados and some lightning to boot! I am on perpetual "Weather Watch" this week in an effort to be ready to roll if the lights go out on any of our midwest LRF locations. What a crazy week for weather! Mother nature is in full swing. A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about Value Vs. Price,   and in that article I spoke about how I need to find value in the products and services I purchase in order to stay with those companies. What I like about  my company  is that we have a ton of value for the price we charge for our products and services. I realize that not all of our customers see the value that I do. That bums me out because we have so much to offer our customers. I was talking to my neighbor Joe in our cul-de-sac last weekend, and he was not aware of SignalSaver. He has the right equipment at home, but did not have an internet connection to his DVR.   Well, he does now, and now has  SignalSave...

So, what do you for DIRECTV anyway?

  Over the last seven years or so the most common question I get as I travel around this great country of ours is “What do you do for DIRECTV anyway?” For those interested, this week’s column is dedicated to my “Day Job”. Enjoy… Greetings from St. Louis! It's Sunday morning and my Battlehawks won a nail biter last night against the Arlington Renegades.  It was an amazing game and I was one of the 40,315 in attendance. Life is good.  Here is this weeks update. I decided to take a week to dedicate a column to my Field Engineering team. I am sure the optics might lead one to believe that I travel around the country staying in hotels, meeting with the hotel and bar staff and promoting DIRECTV. That is maybe 5-10% of my week though.  I am part of a team of 11 Field Engineers who are strategically placed throughout the country to support local channel contributions to DIRECTV in all continental US markets.  We are 100% travel allocated engineers, so we are on the r...

  Today marks the one year anniversary of my first column on Blogspot. It's a special day for me because When I started this blog I had no idea it would take off the way it did, or that I would still be posting today. Unfortunately, this is also the last weekly blog post I will be submitting to Blogspot. Before I explain why I am sunsetting the blog, let's go back and look at the evolution of how the blog came to be. HOW IT ALL STARTED I am a career traveler for DIRECTV . 48 weeks a year, 3-4 nights a week. I was traveling before the Covid-19 pandemic, I traveled through the pandemic, and in early 2022 as America was "Re-opening" I noticed that most of the hotel, restaurant and Bar staff that I had come to know pre-pandemic were no longer employed at my favorite establishments. Hospitality businesses across the country were hiring anyone willing to work, experienced or not. This new team of service workers were doing their best to learn a job that many had never perfo...
