CEOs and their top executives consistently look for better ways to create and keep loyal clients/customers, increase revenue and market share, and reduce their costs. From marketing and sales, to customer support and all aligned functions, it's a whole company job to delight customers. In my two Vistage sessions I challenge leaders to grow the power of love in customer relationships. Using my own career and stories from the Fortune 500 to the corner store, I help leaders look deep into their organization's practices to capture the untapped potential of customer relationships, including increased retention, referrals, and revenue.
