Guest: John DiJulius, Chief Revolution Officer and President of the DiJulius Group. Quick Background: Most companies get customer service all wrong. They make a big show of designing shiny apps, building amazing showrooms, and rolling out cutting-edge products. But they forget to put laser focus on who actually pays for all that—the customer! When you deepen your customer relationships and focus on creating a memorable experience, you can charge a premium price and retain clients for life. “Technology is only 10% of the experience,” says customer service expert John DiJulius, while your person who delivers the service is the other 90%. “Technology can never build a rapport, show empathy, or make a brilliant comeback when we drop the ball, but you can,” John says. Many businesses are trying to de-emphasize the importance of the employee and replace them with chatbots and AI. But that technology will never outperform a well-trained human who steps in when your customer needs personalized help. In this presentation, recorded live at the 2019 CEO Coaching International Summit, John DiJulius explains how you can train your team to own every problem, make meaningful connections with every customer, and create a world-class customer experience that will drive BIG business.

A Good CX Starts With a Good EX - How to Create a Fulfilling and Meaningful Employee Experience Shep Hyken interviews John DiJulius III, Founder and Chief Revolution Officer of The DiJulius Group and bestselling author. He talks about the role of leadership and company culture in shaping a positive work environment. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How can every employee contribute to a better customer experience? How can company leaders support successful customer experience investments? What role does employee training play in improving customer satisfaction? What are common staffing mistakes that companies should avoid for better customer service? How are customer retention and employee retention similar? Top Takeaways: A Good customer experience starts with a good employee experience. The CX will never be better than the EX. An employee experience revolution is where great companies have leaders who help people live extraordinary lives with meaning and purpose. The culture of a company is a major driver of the customer experience. As leaders, we set the tone for what the culture is supposed to be. A positive employee experience contributes to a healthy company culture, which affects their motivation and satisfaction. Ensuring a positive employee experience is as essential for your business's success as delivering outstanding customer experience. There is a quote that says, "You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with." However, in the workplace, your employees cannot choose their five. When a superstar employee is surrounded by underperformers, it can be challenging for them to maintain excellence. Making the right hiring decisions sets the stage for a positive work environment and facilitates the company's and its employees' success. As leaders, we are responsible for creating a team that helps each other excel. Every employee plays a role in customer experience. Regardless of their position, from the front desk to the C-suite, each employee contributes to customer perception and the company's success. Prioritizing employee satisfaction and fulfillment is essential for business success. Just as companies strive to fulfill their customers' needs, they must also address the needs of their employees. Companies can boost productivity and morale by providing a work environment that supports employees' growth and fulfillment. Executive sponsorship is crucial for a successful investment in customer experience. Leaders must empower and support training and customer-centric initiatives. By providing the necessary resources and guidance, executives can drive the company's commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. Plus, Shep and John discuss what "hire's remorse" is and how to avoid it. Tune in! Quote: "The two biggest mistakes companies make in staffing are hiring just anyone to replace turnover and looking the other way on poor performers." About: John DiJulius III is the founder and chief revolution officer of The DiJulius Group and the best-selling author of six books, including his latest, The Employee Experience Revolution: Increase Morale, Retain Your Workforce, and Drive Business Growth.

Creating a customer service revolution doesn't have to be complicated. It's actually pretty simple. It requires effort and a willingness to view your company and employees from the customer's perspective. The number-one thing to remember about customer service excellence is that you're in the customer perception business. It doesn't matter what you think about your customer service policies and procedures if the customers aren't in agreement. Why do so many of us overrate the experiences we provide?

The presentation was based on John's bestselling, ground-breaking book, The Customer Service Revolution. John explains why you have to understand that price, convenience, and other factors are irrelevant because they want the experience you offer. He also breaks down the three pillars of the customer experience action statement, what it means to be a duck during customer interactions, and why a smile should be part of the uniform. Here are just a few takeaways: Why you're in the customer perception business How to make price, convenience, etc., irrelevant to your customers because they want the experience you offer The need for a customer experience action statement and what it does for employees What TOMA and ATOM stand for and how to implement them What the three pillars of the customer experience action statement are What a Customer Bill of Rights is and why you need it How to be a duck when it comes to customer interactions Never make the customer wrong and instead make it right Never criticize team members, competitors, or make excuses A smile is part of the uniform Creating a shortlist of nevers and always propels the customer experience Building instant rapport with people has a huge impact on your professional and personal lives The greatest give you can give is your attention Resources mentioned: www.thedijuliusgroup.com The Customer Service Revolution Podcast Order John's books The 2023 Customer Service Revolution Conference Customer Experience Executive Academy Customer Experience Executive Online Academy EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Who is more expensive? Why are they? “We do $10 haircuts” vs “We fix $10 haircuts.” Give the experience before you charge for it and justify it -“What does a $1,000 haircut look like? What is that greeting like? How is the massage during shampoo? What does a $1,000,000 keynote speech look and sound like?” Grudge buy and losing time- automotive repairs.

John DiJulius, President of the DiJulius Group, started his enterperinaul career operating a hair salon with his wife in Cleveland. Now, he is an international consultant, working with companies like the Ritz-Carlton. He's the author of many books, including the must read “Customer Service Revolution.” John joins host Dan Ryan to talk about his views on #hospitality and what it all means to him. Takeaways: There are 10 rules to follow when it comes to customer service and making sure you provide a world class experience. Hospitality is the emotional warmth that you get from someone. It's not just contained to hotels and restaurants but applies in all aspects of life. The hospitality aptitude is a person's ability to recognize, meet and exceed customers expectations regardless of the circumstances. Hospitality can be defined by the five E's; enthusiastic greeting, ear to ear smile, eye contact, engaged, and educate. You want to be excited to have new clients or new guests at your hotel or restaurant. Excitement shows that you are and are interested in them. There's a gift in every conversation if you're paying attention to it. You listen to what the other person is saying and send them a follow up, just to let them know you heard them. F.O.R.D - Family, Occupation, Recreation, and Dreams. These are great ways to get to know someone and communicate with them. John looks forward to the future where technology becomes better and better and makes all of our lives easier. Quote of the Show: 5:50 “I don't believe hospitality is an industry. I believe it's a piece of the experience every company should deliver. I think PricewaterhouseCoopers, lawyers, whatever industry manufacturing, we should be in the hospitality business, all of us that happens to have really smart lawyers, accountants, widget makers, whatever that means. I really believe it and how I define hospitality is, it's a feeling you give me. Ideally it's an emotional warmth, but it's emotional.” Links: Twitter: https://twitter.com/johndijulius LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dijulius/ Website: https://thedijuliusgroup.com Book Links: https://www.amazon.com/Relationship-Economy-Building-Stronger-Connections/dp/1626346437https://www.amazon.com/Best-Customer-Service-Quotes-Ever/dp/1632990873 https://www.amazon.com/Customer-Service-Revolution-Overthrow-Conventional/dp/162634129X https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Secret-Providing-World-Class-Experience/dp/0470196122 Shout Outs: 0:03 Ritz-Carlton 1:38 Chick-Fil-A 1:40 Starbucks 1:52 Spirit Airlines 10:00 Danny Meyer 10:01 Union Square Cafe 14:01 “How to Make Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie 15:30 Balthazar, Keith McNally restaurant 20:50 New Day USA 48:48 Tesla 48:50 Peloton 48:51 Lulu Lemon 48:54 Apple Ways to Tune In: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419 Podbean: https://www.defininghospitality.live/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/cI4awAsf7_s
