Creating "Moments of Magic," Customer Loyalty, Excellent
Customer Service Customer Relations and The Cult of the
Customer
These presentations focus on how important service is in today's world. Make your organization a star in your customers' eyes. Some of the topics in these presentations include Jan Carlzon's Moments of Truth, Moments of Magic, parallels between selling and service, meeting and exceeding expectations, handling confrontations, building relationships and more.
Internal Customer Service
This is important to every employee of any business; from upper
management to front-line employees. Some of the areas discussed include the concept of the internal customer, management's new responsibilities and building better relationships. The front line may service, sell and have the most contact with the "outside" customer, but the internal people serve everyone else in the organization. Servicing and treating fellow employees like customers will have a direct positive effect on your organization's customer service/satisfaction program. Teamwork concepts can also be brought into this program.
You Are the Magic!
This motivational speech combines humor, magic, information and motivation to create an exciting and enlightening presentation for all types of audiences. It is a fun program that can incorporate parts of Shep's service programs or can include topics such as personal excellence, goal setting, turning negatives into positives, teamwork and more. This is an outstanding program for banquets and special events.
Focus On the Customer - LIVE!
Perhaps your organization has held focus groups where customers are brought into a comfortable environment and asked questions. Imagine taking the focus group live, in front of your organization's executives, sales people, etc.
Shep Hyken will host and facilitate a focus group in front of your audience. Shep will learn specific information about your business and industry, learn about your customers, and develop questions to ask them. But most importantly, Shep will open the session up for questions from the audience. Your people will be able to ask these customers virtually any questions they have ever wanted to ask - no holds barred! Shep encourages participation and keeps the program moving with high energy and his own brand of humor. (You might say this is a cross between Phil Donahue and Jay Leno!)
