Laurie Guest Speaker Biography


As a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and author, Laurie Guest, CSP, CPAE, is the authority on customer service excellence.

For nearly three decades, Laurie has shared her practical point of view on customer service and staff development with audiences and companies across the country, blending real-life examples and proven action steps for improvement.

Laurie’s knack for getting to the essentials of exceptional customer service means everyone in attendance will not only understand her approach but be able to immediately implement her strategies for improvement.

With presentations that are fun and relatable—never canned or “over-rehearsed”—Laurie’s engaging and entertaining programs deliver both real-time interaction with audiences and a surprising dose of humor, too.

Laurie is a member of the National Speakers Association and a Certified Speaking Professional, a designation held by only 12% of speakers; in 2021, she was inducted into the organization’s Speaker Hall of Fame, which includes fewer than 50 women.

A top-rated keynote speaker for corporate events, association meetings, business retreats, and more, working with Laurie is always a pleasant experience.

The 10¢ Decision®: How small change pays off big
Service is at the center of every business, whether you’re making widgets, providing healthcare, or serving gourmet cuisine. From company culture to guest interactions, the choices we make day in and day out add up to create exceptional experiences for everyone involved.

Sure, some decisions are big ones. But more often, it’s the “10¢ decisions”—the ones that barely cost a dime (literally or figuratively) but have a massive impact—that can transform customer service from so-so to stellar.

With decades of firsthand experience to draw from, Laurie shares her insights into making smart, effective choices to improve guest encounters, staff satisfaction, and your business as a whole.

• How to turn things around “on a dime”
• Ways to self-assess customer service levels
• High-impact opportunities to shine that the competition is most likely missing
• Ideas for improving the service level of every team member

During this highly interactive program, attendees will take common scenarios and learn how to phrase the communication in ways that increase their influence with others.

ATTENDEES WILL DISCOVER:
• How to swap words to create connection
