Presentations

These topics and themes are the basis for Shep’s customer service presentations. They 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.

Shep supports all of the concepts with specific “how to’s” that the audience members will want to immediately put into action.

To get and to keep your customers you must deliver an amazing experience.

In this fast-paced and content-rich presentation Shep will share some of the 52 “Amazement Tools” featured in the book of the same name.

The audience will learn best practices, tactics, and strategies to help them deliver the most amazing customer service on the planet.

This is must-have information that will help transform your organization into a seriously customer-focused operation … with a serious competitive edge!

Shep’s New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling book has turned into one of his most requested speeches.

The Amazement Revolution is the culture that can drive any organization – from one employee to tens of thousands – to focus completely on delivering an amazing customer experience.

Shep’s simplistic concept of Customer Amazement is about being better than average, all of the time.

The speech builds on some of Shep’s time tested concepts and adds new strategies and techniques.

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.

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.

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!)

The Customer Focus is a customer service training program for companies who want to create a stronger service culture that builds loyal relationships with their customers and a better environment for their employees.

Welcome to The Customer Focus, another Shepard Presentation. TCF was created to help develop a mindset dedicated to delivering outstanding service to both external and internal customers.

TCF is a process that requires the commitment and dedication of every employee in a company (or division of a company). Concepts, strategies and exercises are facilitated by professional trainers who have been approved by Shep Hyken to present the TCF workshops.

A by-product of this customer service training program is that it helps build employee loyalty and a better working environment.

The fundamental purpose of a business is to satisfy customer/client needs at a profit.

Your company can only benefit from a strong customer service culture. Satisfied customers are converted to loyal customers. More sales come from existing customers. You customers become your advocates, creating excellent word of mouth advertising. And, much more. The bottom line is increased revenue.
