I’d given that keynote everything. I took the time to speak with 3 audience members weeks before my talk to get a feel for what would be value-adding for attendees. Months before my talk I interviewed 2 experts in the field so that I could provide field-tested and proven strategies in my key points. I was prayed up. On the big day my keynote was good, but it was not great.

In the business-to-business world, the concept of Voice of the Customer is gaining momentum. But despite good intentions, and the opportunity for increased revenue from both new and existing customers, building a successful VoC program in a B2B organization can be a challenge. Your sales and account management teams must listen to customer needs and deliver solutions that are tailored to those needs.
Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO
The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

The twentieth of May marks 16 years that I’ve been in business for myself, doing the things I’ve dreamt about, the things I love – training, writing, designing curriculum. I love where I am and what I do; yet recently I have experienced burnout. Guilt was my first response to burnout. How dare I feel bored, dis-interested and un-creative. So many people would be happy to be where I am; I should be grateful.
