Less Bland, More WOW!
Join us in our 2 day workshop and learn how to grow your business by delivering great customer experiences with your team fully behind you, knowing why, when and how to WOW your customers time and time again.
Are You Finding it Difficult to Win More Customers?
Would you love to have more customers, buying from you more often, spending more with you and recommending you to more of their family, friends and colleagues? Do you want to keep them as customers for longer and maximise their life time value?
If the answer to any of these questions is YES, then being bland will not cut it! When you're average you hand your competition a huge advantage.
Customers are more informed, more knowledgeable, complain more often, have more choice and are less loyal than ever before.
This presents you with several challenges.
- Finding ways to convert customers away from your competition and convince them to spend their money with you.
- How to engage your employees and motivate them to WOW your customers and win back any dissatisfied ones.
- Developing a ‘one team, one customer’ attitude across your business that focuses on delighting the customer.
- Finding the opportunities to WOW so that every customer is highly likely to recommend your business to others.
- Finding unique and sustainable ways to stand out from the crowd and build awesome service behaviour into the customer experience.
- Developing the right leadership skills needed to support a customer-focused culture and how to make the necessary changes stick for good.
The GREAT NEWS there is a solution that can help you meet these challenges head-on. READ ON.
How Would you Feel If....
- You had a team that was fully aligned with your vision of excelling in customer service?
- You knew your business was growing based on recommendations from loyal customers?
- You had a simple recipe for success, easily understood by everyone in your business that if followed would guarantee success?
- At management meetings you could report customers spending more, buying more often, costing you less, and staying with you longer?
Well, we have the solution that will help achieve these goals. We call it “Less Bland, More WOW!" and it's one of OUR two-day workshops.
