In this episode you will learn:

  • What a great customer experience is really about.
  • What exactly a Chief Experience Officer does, and why more C-Suites should think about adding one to take collaboration of departments to integration.
  • How Johann was able to bridge the divide between his expertise on the technical side and his creativity when it came to talking to customers through sales.
  • How Johann went about getting prepared to be assertive in a meeting with other executives in order to keep everyone focused and achieve his objectives and ensure his meeting didn’t get hijacked by other stakeholders’ agendas.
  • The approach of a ‘Yes we can do it, here’s what I need’ perspective during negotiations, and how you can use it to show you are collaborative as well as to highlight alternative options.

    • 24 Hour Challenge:

    Go to every person you run into in your business and ask them how the work they do impacts the customer experience.
