What creates excellent customer service experiences resulting in clients becoming passionate fans of your company? What if some simple steps could change a client’s experience with your company from mediocre to magical; would you take them?
Today my lab partner on Scaling UP! H2O is Dennis Snow. Dennis honed over 20 years of customer service skills with the Walt Disney World Company. Today Dennis is a full-time speaker, trainer, and consultant who helps organizations achieve customer service, employee development, and leadership goals. Dennis launched a Disney Institute division responsible for consulting with some of the world’s largest companies. This division quickly became the fastest-growing venture of the Disney Institute and experienced nearly 100% repeat business. He also spent several years with Disney University, teaching corporate philosophy and business practices to cast members and the leadership team. In his last year with Walt Disney World, Dennis’ leadership performance ranked in the top 3% of its leadership team.
Scaling UP! Nation, join us today as we learn from Dennis’s tried and true methods to turn your business from unimpressive to the most impressive in the industry when it comes to excellent customer service. My challenge to you is this: “Do a little something that pushes you to become better at whatever it is that you deem you need to become better with” [57:17]
