JOSEPH MICHELLI PROGRAMS & TOPICS

World-Class Customer Experience - Excellence Through People, Product, and Process

You are not alone in wanting to deliver outstanding customer experiences. According to Forrester Research, customer experience elevation is on the strategic priority list of 92% of businesses. Despite that prioritization, consumer satisfaction continues to decline. This presentation outlines the difference between companies that “aspire to” and those like Mercedes-Benz USA that “execute to” deliver customer delight. It outlines the importance of leadership vision and approaches to inspire customer-centricity for everyone who represents your brand. Moreover, the presentation offers practical tools on how to integrate technology with human service delivery to create a unique, special bond with your customers.

Customer Loyalty: Driving Ease and Engagement

The drivers of customer loyalty are changing! Consumers no longer stay loyal to brands that simply satisfy them. Increasingly, customers churn because brands are difficult to do business with and/or those brands don’t develop emotional or lifestyle connections with them. In this customer loyalty presentation, Dr. Michelli looks at best practices from brands like Mercedes-Benz USA, Zappos, and Starbucks as they forge emotional connections at high-value touchpoints. He also demonstrates how an entire workforce listens to the voice of customers and looks for ways to remove pain points and enhance delight. This presentation also explores the role of employee loyalty to customer loyalty and the leadership behaviors needed to achieve both.

Better Than Normal - Creating Exception Technology Aided and Human-Powered Experiences

The phrase "new normal" is being overused these days! When most people say it, you can hear the pain in their voice and a nostalgic longing for the way things used to be. There are lots of "if onlys" packed into the phrase. "If only," we could go back to the "old normal." This presentation focuses on a different set of "what if" questions. What if you can take the disruption of the pandemic to make the future better than the old normal? What if, you could leverage technology tools in conjunction with higher human service levels to deliver a more engaging experience to all stakeholders (peers, team members, customers, and vendors)? Dr. Michelli will customize this presentation to offer immediate impact tools needed to design and deliver humanity and technology-rich experiences that drive loyalty and referrals.

Engineering Legacy - The Art of Lasting Significance

Everyone leaves a legacy. The scope of that legacy is largely a function of the degree to which it is designed versus left to chance. Utilizing a legacy model, Dr. Michelli helps frontline team members, managers and leaders understand the importance of finding defining the lasting emotional impact they wish to have on colleagues and customers. Further, he guides audience members to see their influence as a function of effort as well as the scope of impact. "Engineering Legacy - The Art of Lasting Significance," takes participants through a process to define and be held accountable to their own personal "Legacy Vision."
