By default, we seem to think of technology as making things easier/ cheaper/ faster/ for our organizations internally, or for personal productivity, yet it can be best used to serve. One of the D15M huddles I will often suggest to managers, is a talk story about product versus service, because ultimately we always come to the conclusion that the value perceived in service delivery always trumps the bells and whistles features of any product. I think that is the word of mouth effect you are enjoying.

The thinking is if we can't get it then we've already lost the customer's money... there's no reason to lose the customer's loyalty, so we help them find where they CAN get it. So far it's been very effective as far as word of mouth goes in getting people to come back, telling others.
