Lessons on Loyalty: Turning Customers into Champions

Would you like to create customers for life?

Would you like to provide exceptional service?

Would you like to secure a strategic competitive advantage?

One of the most powerful loyalty drivers available to professional services organizations comes from situations most of us dread—screw ups—the implementation that never worked or the problem fix that never stuck. Learn how to embrace problems to build relationships and maximize your value to your clients.

Nobody wants to make mistakes, but great services organizations know that awesome service recovery is an excellent way to build client loyalty and create clients for life. Unfortunately, most of us are subconsciously attracted to problem-avoidance tactics aimed at minimizing damage—to our company and our career—instead of embracing relationship-building opportunities. But the very things that result in a hassle for you and a headache for your client are marvelous opportunities to turn chicken feathers into chicken soup. We'll show you how!

Who Should Attend:
Services executives, managers, practice leaders, project managers, marketing and sales executives, product sellers, services sellers—anyone who touches the customer or who is responsible for customer satisfaction and loyalty.

What You Will Learn:

  • 3 problem-avoidance approaches and why you should not use them
  • Attitudes that drive good and bad behaviors
  • How to develop a service recovery process
  • The 5 foundations of service recovery
  • Best methods to assume responsibility
  • Creating a sense of urgency inside your organization
  • How to excite and empower your team
  • Much more...
