Competition is tougher than ever these days. Competing on price is a losing game — just ask the two gas stations across the street from each other. And competing on product is getting harder and harder as almost everything can be copied — just ask your favorite ride-share company.
So what’s left? How can we stand out in a crowded marketplace that is constantly evolving?
In this session, customer experience speaker and former Fortune 500 executive Dan Gingiss will teach the audience how customer experience can be your company’s ultimate differentiator, creating a competitive advantage that cannot be copied.
Your business CAN compete on customer experience. When you create a remarkable experience for your customers, they become your best marketers and salespeople. The result is more customers, who spend more, are loyal longer, and recommend your company to others.
You’ll walk away from this keynote with the inspiration and the tools to go back to work and create a deeper connection with your customers. And Dan Gingiss doesn’t just talk about experience, he creates one for the audience, too!
In this fast-paced, fun and engaging keynote audiences will:
- Learn the types of experiences people share most often and why.
- Apply an easy, 5-step framework for creating remarkable, shareable experiences.
- Leverage examples from many other companies across industries that have been successful with these simple, practical, and inexpensive ideas.
We all know that support staff are at the forefront of driving great customer experiences. But the one thing that customer-centric companies understand well is that great CX is not the job of customer-facing teams alone – everyone has an equal role to play.
This session will explore how all teams in your organization are in the “customer experience business,” and how driving such a culture forward is key to organizational success.
Your customers don’t care about your organizational chart or which department handles what. They look at your company as a single entity, and expect that everyone — from the front-line customer service agent to the legal department to the custodial staff — is focused on making their experience remarkable.
In this fast-paced, fun and engaging keynote audiences will:
- Learn how different teams such as marketing, finance, and legal shape the customer experience.
- Discover real-life examples of the impact of non-customer facing teams on the end customer.
- Realize how a company-wide commitment to CX improves customer loyalty.
