The Experience Maker Featuring Dan Gingiss

Creating Consistent Exceptional Customer Experiences   Shep Hyken interviews Dan Gingiss, an international keynote speaker, coach, and author of The Experience Maker. They discuss how to create experiences that customers want to talk about.  Top Takeaways:   o An Experience Maker is that person in an organization that wears the customer hat at all times. They think through every business problem from a customer's perspective. o Each person in the company should be an Experience Maker. Even those working in the back office without direct customer interaction should always have the customer in mind. o All marketers want the elusive goal of word-of-mouth marketing. It's not about the next marketing campaign or splashy video. It is creating consistent, exceptional experiences that get customers to talk about your brand. o WISER is a framework that companies can use to create experiences that people want to talk about. It means: ·   Witty - This is not necessarily about humor or being funny. Being witty as a brand is about being clever, using language to your advantage, and refusing to be boring. ·  Immersive - Create consistent experiences that people connect with emotionally. ·  Shareable - Give people a subtle nudge to share their customer experiences with others. The more brands tell people to share about them on social media, the less likely they are to do it. · Extraordinary - Be just a little bit better than everyone else. ·  Responsive - Be engaged with customers when they engage with you. o Be a customer of your own company so you can see what your customers see. This is how you can uncover your customers' pain points, the things that you are doing well, and the things that you should be doing more of.  Quotes:     "Every decision a company makes affects the customer.
