Key topics
From a keynote speech to a two day workshops, here are some of the key topics covered:
Why customers don’t do what they say, why chocolate makes you buy more books and how you can improve your customer experience
Customers don’t do what they say!. Behavioural and neuroscience show us that for the most part our unconscious is in charge. This has a big impact on the customer experiences we need to create. Understanding and influencing what customers actually do, how they feel and why they do things is at the heart of great customer experiences.
Tim brings together the latest science with stories and anecdotes of successful and innovative organisations. He will challenge your audience to think differently about customers and the experiences you need to create. Come away with the truth and a new way forward
How to create a customer experience that grows your business
Customer experience has become the core way for business to differentiate and grow. Gartner state that 87% of marketing leaders expect CX to be their primary differentiation strategy. The challenge for business is HOW! How do you create a customer experience that differentiates your organisation and grows your business?
Tim’s presentation and workshops bring together behavioural science with amazing case studies to show you how. He challenges the audience about how to influence customers. And shows them what they need to do to deliver a leading brand and customer experience.
Creating a customer centric organisation
With brands like Amazon providing drone delivery, to Uber disrupting the taxi market. Merely keeping up, never mind differentiating, is becoming a constant challenge. In this fast paced digital world where customers expectations are ever increasing, how do you stand out?
What the leading businesses have in common is that they place the customer at the centre of their organisation. In a keynote speech, Tim will inspire audiences about understanding customer behaviour and what it takes to create this customer centricity. The growth benefits are huge.
The Best Western Story
Tim joined Best Western at the beginning of the financial crisis. The hotel sector wasn’t growing, the Best Western brand was performing poorly and the customer experience was best described as random. Tim completely transformed the Best Western brand. ‘Hotels with Personality’ became the brand strategy and Tim drove this through a complete transformation of customer experience, marketing, plus a major culture change throughout the group. The results saw double digit growth every year with the Best Western brand becoming the number one in its sector. How to take a middle of the road organisation and transform it is a story that audiences can relate to and be inspired into action.
