Take Their Breath Away

Imaginative service is different than exceeding customer expectations. Ask customers what actions would be value added and they will focus on taking the expected to a higher-level…“they gave me more than I anticipated.” But, imaginative service is not about addition (a delightful “wow”), it’s about creation (an unexpected “whoa”). When service people are asked to give more, they think to themselves, “I am already doing the best I can.” But, if asked to pleasantly surprise more customers, they feel less like worker bees and more like fireflies. Imaginative service paves the way for a “take their breath away” experience that can overcome customer resistance to price during challenging economic times. Stop focusing on the way-too-expensive value-added and go for the stunning value-unique! Take Their Breath Away is based on Chip’s forthcoming book (with John Patterson) by the same title. This lively, practical and provocative workshop draws from Bell and Patterson’s fifty-year combined experience consulting with many of the major companies deemed to be the world’s best service innovators. Attendees leave with countless cutting-edge techniques and a head full of ideas for either reinventing or re-igniting the service experience they deliver to those they serve.

The program can be delivered by Chip, John or the Chip Bell Group trainers. Additionally, a complete trainer package is available for in-house delivery by your trainers. The trainer package includes a detailed trainers guide, master file for participant workbooks, assessment instrument, and a CD containing slides, videos and wall charts.

Leading Take Their Breath Away Service

Imaginative service can occur without great leadership; all organizations have associates who work to give great service simply out of the belief that customers deserve their best. But to ensure that the customer experience is innovative across an entire organization requires the guiding hand of skilled, passionate leaders. Look behind the scenes of organizations renowned for imaginative service—the ones with true business growth even in tough times, not just growth through acquisitions—and you will find leaders whose behaviors and practices nurture the spirit to serve. Based Dr. Chip Bell and John Patterson’s book, Customer Loyalty Guaranteed, attendees gain insights, instruction and the incentive to lead associates in delivering take-their-breath-away service. Framed around a practical formula and laced with riveting great examples, this workshop can jump start leaders’ passion and reset their practices for transforming mediocre service into sustainable imaginative service.

The program can be delivered by Chip, John or the Chip Bell Group trainers. Additionally, a complete trainer package is available for in-house delivery by your trainers. The trainer package includes a detailed trainers guide, master file for participant workbooks, assessment instrument, and a CD containing slides, videos and wall charts.

Mentoring: How to Be a Learning Coach

Mentoring is not a program. It’s a process. Success calls for creative ways to foster learning, improvement and everlasting experimentation on-the-job and whenever needed. Today’s mentors focus on creativity rather than control; on helping people get smart, not just get ahead. Mentoring is a one-to-one relationship that can be supervisor to associate manager to someone other than a direct report, or even peer-to-peer. Being a great coach or a leader in the organization does not mean someone is automatically a great mentor. The skills for a learning relationship are unique and distinctive. Based on Dr. Bell’s internationally best-selling book, Mentoring: How to Be a Learning Coach is a fun and powerful one-day workshop that gives participants concrete perspectives, practical techniques, and put-into-practice tools for effectively managing employee growth. Participants leave Mentoring able to:

  • Understand the mentoring relationship in a new way
  • Level the learning field through by developing greater rapport
  • Create a comfortable and exciting learning relationship
  • Provide advice and feedback without getting resistance
  • Insure relevant focus while transferring knowledge and experience
  • Help protégés become self-directed learners.
