Lisa Ford Speaking Topics

  • Why Customer Service Is NOT Enough

    This is a presentation on why customer service alone will not lead to long term survival. Everyone has read the books, many businesses have pledged fidelity to its customers but few have implemented actions that match their attitude. And most efforts are faint hearted, gimmicky or off the mark. Today’s organization must focus on the customer experience and retention with renewed energy. This speech is a combination of content, examples and motivation. The challenge is to get customers to love your products, services and people. The audience will learn the tough questions to make needed improvements. Lisa relates statistics, strategies and stories so the audience leaves with skills and the desire to win and keep customers.

  • Create A Customer Service-Focused Culture

    Face it–front-line customer service is a tough job. One of the biggest challenges is keeping your team inspired and motivated every day. Learn what works when it comes to inspiring exceptional service and creating loyal customers. This session will cover the environment you must create to encourage a strong, engaged team, your role in modeling the right behavior and the strategies to maintain the right service attitude. Other hands-on information includes how to hire the right team member to start, how to train staff who are emotionally equipped to handle front-line intensity, and what to discuss at team meetings to maintain momentum. Lisa will also deliver ideas on service standards, using empowerment correctly and managing today’s generation of team members.

  • How to Lead a Team

Lisa will give people a chance to laugh and learn while accepting the new reality.

  • Create a Culture of Engagement

    To build a business, you must have a focused and engaged team. Your team makes the difference with your customer, your daily results, growth, innovation and profitability.
