Speaking Topics

Why Every Employee Is In The Customer Experience Business

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.

Dan’s audiences:

  • 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.

Dan’s engaging demonstrations, real-time audience interactions, and compelling stories, including a memorable opening and finale (hint: check out the promo video!), will leave you inspired and equipped to harness AI’s full potential to elevate your customer experience strategy

Testimonials

Dan’s expertise in the subject matter was evident, as he seamlessly connected his content to the industry. The feedback we received from participants was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting Dan’s ability to engage, educate, and leave a lasting impression. Dan’s professionalism and commitment to delivering a memorable experience truly elevated our conference.

We hired Dan to speak at our inaugural user conference at Forethought. Dan not only delivered, but he exceeded my wildest expectations. Dan’s stories around real-world, shareable customer experiences, meant actionable insights for our customers (and for me personally!). They made me rethink my own experiences, both as a customer and a service provider. Dan is a masterful storyteller, great human, and a treat to get to meet in person! Highly recommend!

We have had the great fortune of working with Dan on two events this year. The first, a keynote at our annual awards meeting. He was such a hit that we brought him back to facilitate an interactive Experience Maker [workshop] session with our teams. The feedback for both events was nothing but positive with many rave reviews. The additional content available with his books, podcast, blog, Experience Maker Challenge have enabled us to create a robust initiative for the year that our teams are excited about. Highly recommend whether you’re looking for keynote, workshops, or consulting.
