Customer Retention:
Master Strategies Beyond the Basics

The most valuable customer you have right now is the one you can keep—profitably. That’s why recent Chief Executive Group polling finds—overwhelmingly—that CEOs say they’re concentrating on this essential area for business success. But what really makes a customer loyal to you? What secret behaviors and patterns unknowingly drive your customers away? What tools do the most successful companies use to make themselves more than just commodity providers, but truly indispensable partners? In a time of sweeping change and economic disruption, this is perhaps THE most important thing your company—and your team—can master right now, and we’ll help you and your people get much better at it in a hurry, with tips and techniques from some of the most influential thinkers on this area in the world.

Advanced Compensation Strategies to Drive True Business Performance

Compensation is one of your largest expenses, one you can turn it into a strategic advantage in attracting, retaining, and motivating talent (or not accidentally demotivating them). In this highly practical session, bestselling author and author of the business classics Scaling Up and The Rockefeller Habits, Verne Harnish shares his brand-new work on the 5 principles for designing effective compensation systems, with plenty of examples from leading small, medium, and large firms across various industries. Nail it and you can add hundreds of percentage points to the bottom line while driving up the energy in the organization. Make the wrong call (or piecemeal the decision together), and the results will create needless drama throughout the organization.
