Keynote Speaker -- Wednesday, November 1, 5:00 PM
Building Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty is the responsibility of every employee within your organization. It is earned by building positive relationships, one customer and employee at a time. Loyalty-focused libraries are community assets. Loyal customers are more pleasant; they use the library more, refer others and are more forgiving when problems occur.
Debra Schmidt will teach you how to build customer loyalty through a combination of powerful facts, entertaining stories and interactive exercises. She will help you identify the expectations of internal customers (co-workers, employees) and external customers and teach you how
to surprise and delight your customers through exceptional service.
