Sample Talks

Are You Bigger?

How connected are you to your customers? Will they leave you for a better price or a new feature? How many of your customers are Fanatics?

We will explore these difficult questions and learn about ways to build a community of loyal customer Fanatics. Using provocative ideas (Are the Four P's Dead?) and real-world examples of companies and organizations that have transcended their products, the audience will start to rethink how they engage their customers to drive "sticky" relationships.
