Program
Customer Service Is a Philosophy
Bestselling author and top speaker Shep Hyken will explain why customer service isn’t a department, but rather a philosophy: it's a way of doing things that should permeate your organization. Being proactive and engaging your customers can have significant benefits. Shep will join Roy Atkinson, recognized many times for his contributions to customer service on social media, for a discussion on attitude, listening, problem solving, and customer engagement as parts of the road map to being a great customer service organization.
Getting Started, Getting Good, Being Great: Social and Digital Customer Service
In this presentation, Michael Pace, of The Pace of Service and the Northeast Contact Center Forum (NECCF), will talk about investing time and effort in social (media) aspects of customer service, lay out five steps for developing superior social customer service, and discuss objectives and metrics to keep moving forward.
High-Tech, High-Touch Customer Service
In this presentation, based on Micah Solomon's latest bestseller, learn how to build customers for life in this age of social media, self-service, global competition, and endless distractions. Micah will share best practices and culture-building insights from Apple, Google, The Ritz-Carlton, Zappos, USAA Insurance, The Four Seasons, and more.
