FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER – LIVE!
This is important to every employee of any business; from upper management to front line employees. Customer service is not a department. It is a philosophy that includes every employee of the best companies.  Everyone has customers!  Some of the areas discussed include the concept of the internal customer, management’s responsibility to model behavior and building better relationships at work. 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.

This presentation is based on Shep’s Wall Street Journal bestselling book of the same name.  This speech will take your audience through the five “cults,” or phases, that all companies must go through to create an experience that turns your satisfied customers into customer evangelists.  The audience will be introduced to a concept that leads both customers and employees through five distinct cultural phases – from “uncertainty” to “amazement.”  Beyond the concept, Shep shares specific strategies that the audience will be able to implement immediately.
