Dan Gingiss is from Highland Park, Illinois. In 1996, he received his BA in psychology and communication which he later realized were the keys to marketing. He held a number of different positions in customer support and marketing for 10 years whilst at 3 companies. During this time, he took his MBA in marketing.
He then moved on to Discover Financial Services where he gained a lot of experience from a number of different roles in the company. He worked with them for almost 10 years; the last 3 years as Head of Digital Customer Experience and Social Media. It was here that he accomplished his proudest achievement with Discovery Card being awarded the JD Power Award for Customer Service. He went on to hold a number of managerial posts, all the while gaining important knowledge and experiences.
He started his own company in 2019 and has worked as the Chief Experience Officer there ever since. He has given many international keynote speeches sharing what he has discovered, and is a member of the National Speakers Association. He authored his book ‘The Experience Maker’ in 2021 and followed this with ‘Winning at Social Customer Care’. Dan also hosts his own podcast and contributes to Forbes magazine.
See keynotes with Dan GingissLet’s face it: Competition is tougher than ever these days. Competing on price is a loser’s game — just ask the two gas stations across the street from each other. And competing on product is getting harder and harder as almost everything can be copied — just ask your favorite ride-share company.
So what’s left? How can we stand out in a crowded marketplace that is constantly evolving?
In this fun and engaging keynote, customer experience coach and former Fortune 500 executive Dan Gingiss will teach the audience how customer experience can be your company’s ultimate differentiator, creating a competitive advantage that cannot be copied. You’ll learn how to: 1) identify the types of experiences people share most often and why; 2) apply an easy, 5-step framework for creating remarkable, shareable experiences; and 3) leverage examples from many other companies across industries that have been successful with these simple, practical, and inexpensive ideas.
Your business CAN compete on customer experience. When you create a remarkable experience for your customers, they become your best marketers and salespeople. The result is more customers, who stay longer, spend more, and recommend your company to others.
You’ll walk away from this keynote inspired to go back to work the next day with actionable steps to create a deeper connection with your customers. And Dan Gingiss doesn’t just talk about experience, he creates one for the audience, too!
Are you ready for the experience of a lifetime?
Co-Presented with Shonnah Hughes
How well do you really know your customers? In almost every business across every industry, customers have become more diverse than ever before.
Whether you know it or not, your customer base is diverse in almost every way imaginable: gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, political affiliation, family structure, existence of disabilities, and more. And the spending power is staggering:
So how can businesses authentically engage with different communities to gain their loyalty and hard-earned dollars? By giving them a place to BELONG. In this eye-opening and myth-busting keynote presentation, customer experience experts Dan Gingiss and Shonnah Hughes teach audiences why belonging matters and how it equates to business growth. They make the case that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is more than just good hiring practices; it’s about building products and services with your diverse customer base in mind and being inclusive in your marketing.
Audiences will learn:
We all know that support staff are at the forefront of driving great customer experiences. But the one thing that customer-centric companies understand well is that great CX is not the job of customer-facing teams alone – everyone has an equal role to play.
This session will explore how all teams in your organization are in the “customer experience business,” and how driving such a culture forward is key to organizational success.
You’ll learn: 1) How different teams such as marketing, finance, and legal shape the customer experience; 2) real-life examples of the impact of non-customer facing teams on the end customer; 3) how a company-wide commitment to CX improves customer loyalty.
Your customers don’t care about your organizational chart or which department handles what. They look at your company as a single entity, and expect that everyone — from the front-line customer service agent to the legal department to the custodial staff — is focused on making their experience remarkable.
