Delivering World-Class Customer Service

This program will provide you with strategic tools that can be used to raise the bar of service throughout your organization, resulting in "walk-through-fire" customer loyalty.

Leading a Culture of Service Excellence

In today's competitive market, developing a service excellence strategy is an important part of any leader's role. Beyond developing the strategy, however, there is the challenge of executing the plan. It's in the execution that service excellence strategies become a reality or simply another "flavor-of-the-month" program. Employees watch to see how committed the organization truly is to customer service and take their cues directly from their leaders. In order to effectively implement an organization-wide service excellence strategy, today's leaders must rely on the skills of a facilitator and idea champion and must walk the talk of service excellence.

Based on the leadership principles Snow learned, lived, and taught during his 20-years with Walt Disney World, this presentation highlights specific leadership behaviors that bring a service strategy to life and describes how to "hardwire" service excellence into an organization's culture.
