Everyone has a story to tell and some of us are fortunate enough to share our stories on stage in front of a live audience. My new podcast, Standing Ovation, is a show about stories. Stories that move us, inspire us and drive us to take action and change the trajectory of our lives. Let’s face it, not all stories are great stories. But, every once in a while, I stumble across a story that is so moving and so powerful that I just have to share it with my audience of Clappers (that’s you guys!). So, in this first episode of Standing Ovation, you’ll hear one such story from Scott McKain, a Hall of Fame keynote speaker who has delivered thousands of presentations across six continents. Scott’s tapestry of speaking experiences has landed him on stages all over the world including being booked by the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for an event on the White House lawn with the President in attendance. If that’s not impressive for a speaker who began his career when he was just a teenager in a small town in Indiana, I don’t know what is. Scott is renowned for his storytelling ability and speaks a lot about distinction and helping his audiences understand how to stand out in today's crowded business environment. But, perhaps his most famous story of all is about Taxi Terry, a curious cab driver who uses a personal database to improve customer relations and provide his passengers with the best cab experience of their lives.

Business, Relationships, Customers, Competition, Distinction   Summary   People can accomplish great things. But on the individual level, more than what they accomplish, or even what they DO, it's who they ARE that creates distinction. We'll look at that in our Thought of the Day. And in our interview segment, we'll learn from the amazing business author and hall-of-fame speaker, Scott McKain, on how to create distinction in the marketplace. That and more on today's show. Bob's Thought of the Day   You'll discover:   Why true distinction means more than simply being different from something else--it means it's a higher quality. The power of being distinctive through maintaining a life of integrity, as shown by Tom Schreiter, the Dean of Direct Selling. (You'll also hear what Tom's own son-in-law has to say about his distinctive example.) How Shane and Sia--the Barbi Twins--used their modeling fame to create a powerful and distinctive platform to first help women become healthier, and then to speak out for animal rights (in addition to helping track down a villainous psychopath!).   Interview with Scott McKain   You'll discover:   Why being different is not the same thing as being distinct. The three destroyers of differentiation. The danger of being focused on your competitors, and why it prevents you from focusing on your customers. A powerful story about Scott's memorable experience with the Fairmont Hotel. Why keeping your story to yourself is worse than telling no story at all.   Click to Tweet   Keeping your story to yourself is worse than telling no story at all. @scottmckain Discover why you should focus on your customers, not your competitors. @scottmckain Learn why being different is not the same thing as being distinct. @scottmckain Interview Links   ScottMcKain.com Create Distinction by Scott McKain 7 Tenets of Taxi Terry by Scott McKain Follow Scott McKain on Twitter Connect with Scott McKain on LinkedIn Distinction Institute, LLC Project Distinct Podcast   Resources   TwinBunnies.com (The Barbi Twins' animal protection organization) Follow the Barbi Twins on Twitter   Sell The Go-Giver Way Webinar GoGiverSalesAcademy.com The Go-Giver Leader TheGoGiver.com GoGiverSpeaker.com Burg.com How to Post a Review

In today’s episode, PromoKitchen chefs Mark Graham and Dale Denham are going to take a deep dive into what it takes to deliver “ultimate customer experiences”. In today’s competitive landscape, customer experience is often the key differentiator that separates one company from the next. We know this to be especially true in the promotional products industry where commoditization and price shopping run rampant. The winners in this industry have long recognized that it’s the intangibles beyond price and product that create enduring and successful companies. So what does it mean to create the “ultimate customer experience?” Our guest today is the man who coined this very term. Please welcome to the PK Podcast, Scott McKain. Scott is the founder of The Distinction Institute, a company that explores the role of ultimate customer experiences in creating enhanced client retention and revenue. He is the author of three Amazon.com #1 business bestsellers, all focused on teaching companies how to expand profits, increase sales, and engage customers. Scott’s latest book, 7 Tenets of Taxi Terry, provides the specific steps for every employee to create and deliver ultimate customer experiences. Without further adieu, PromoKitchen Podcast #79 . . .

The road to a better you. We’re moving towards a more healthy version of you, whatever that means to you, whatever that looks like to you.

We talk about Scott McKain from Taxi Terry, he shared that “goals have three critical priorities, they need to be specific, realistic and written down.

I know it’s scary to put it out there, but we’re in this together, we’re not passing judgement! It may be something tiny, or something huge— but whatever it is, it’s a goal to you, and we’re here to listen and hold you accountable!   Give yourself kudos for being here today, and taking the time to learn and work on yourself.
