Amaze Every Customer Everytime!

Sunday, October 16, 2022 - 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Speakers: Buddy Rice, Shepherd Presentations

Amazement is the level of customer experience that gives you a clear advantage in any economy and any marketplace. Amazement is the competitive edge that separates good companies from truly great companies. And believe it or not, an amazing customer experience is well within your capacity to deliver to every customer, every single time.
Amazement is the advantage that makes the competition start thinking about how “unfair” it is to have to be operating in the same market, the same planet, the same dimension as you do.

Amazement is what makes it easy for you to stand out and win repeat business, create customer evangelists, and reap referrals—whether times are good or bad; whether your company sells ballpoint pens, ball bearings, or ballroom dancing lessons; whether your customers are consumers, businesses, or both.
Amazement is what the “best of the best” companies have figured out. And it’s what you can figure out too. These companies know that no matter how great their product or service, they can’t expect to get and keep customers if they don’t deliver an amazing experience. Guess what! You can’t either!
