## Popular Talks by Dan Gingiss
### Why Every Employee Is in the Customer Experience Business
Customers don’t see your org chart; they see one company and expect everyone to deliver. This session shows how teams like marketing, finance, and legal shape the customer experience, even when they never talk to a customer. Real-world examples show how a company-wide commitment to CX builds a stronger culture and greater customer loyalty.

### Getting WISER to the Power of Customer Experience (Workshop)
A hands-on session that moves teams from talking about customer experience to creating it. Participants apply the WISER framework (Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary, Responsive) to their own business and brainstorm simple, practical, inexpensive improvements they can implement right away. Teams leave with a long list of their own ideas and the energy to act on them.

### Live Customer Focus Group: An Exclusive Add-On Experience
Your actual customers take the stage to share unfiltered feedback about their experiences, expectations, and frustrations. Dan moderates to uncover what customers love, what makes them leave, and what keeps them coming back, and then the audience asks its own questions. It gives leadership direct, real-time insight they can act on.

### From Feedback To Action: How To Collect, Analyze, and Take Action On Customer Feedback (Workshop)
Most companies collect customer feedback but never act on it. Using Dan’s CAT Principle (Collect, Analyze, Take Action), teams look past CSAT and NPS scores to the qualitative feedback that explains why customers feel the way they do. Participants practice spotting themes, finding root causes, and closing the loop, and leave with a repeatable process.

### Remarkable by Design: Turn Everyday Interactions into Talk-Worthy Experiences
Price cuts get matched and features get copied, so nearly every company is now selling a commodity. But customers don’t talk about transactions; they talk about experiences. Using his WISE framework, Dan shows audiences how to win on the one thing competitors can’t copy: how you make people feel. And he doesn’t just talk about remarkable experiences; he creates them for every audience.

### Collective Lift: Why The Future of Performance Is About Multiplying Others
Traditional performance systems reward visibility and individual output, so the people who make everyone around them better often go unrecognized. Through stories like the Chicago Cubs ending their 108-year championship drought, Dan shows how elevating others compounds performance at every level, with or without a title. Audiences get three measurement tools for identifying hidden leaders and one concrete action to start practicing Collective Lift the next morning.
