Dan makes your attendees happy by turning the CX successes of his teams at McDonald’s, Humana, Discover, Diners Club, and more into the simple, powerful, actionable CX takeaways that participants long for

As a Fortune 500 company executive, leader, and mentor, Dan understood both the challenges his teams faced in creating remarkable customer experiences and how to equip, inspire, and guide his teams to rise to meet those challenges.

Dan now speaks to audiences in the same, inspired way he led his former teams—not by relying on dry theories, cherry-picked research, or outdated and out-of-touch methods but by calling on his unmatched real-world experience and by understanding what real people need to create remarkable customer experiences at their own companies.

Megan W.

Signature Keynote: A Remarkable Customer Experience Is Your Biggest Competitive Advantage

Competition is tougher than ever these days. Competing on price is a losing 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 speaker 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.

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 spend more, are loyal longer, and recommend your company to others.

Why Every Employee is in the Customer Experience Business

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.

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.

Dan’s audiences:

  • Learn how different teams such as marketing, finance, and legal shape the customer experience.
  • Discover real-life examples of the impact of non-customer facing teams on the end customer.
  • Realize how a company-wide commitment to CX improves customer loyalty.

The Experience Maker Difference:
Nothing Beats Experience

Whether you’re planning a spectacular conference, meeting or corporate event, we know you have many choices for your keynote speaker. None will be quite like Dan, though. Here’s why:

The Most Experienced Voice
in Customer Experience

Dan provides real-world, time-tested CX solutions from the trenches, including 20 years as a former executive at three Fortune 500 companies.

No Reading Slides

Say no to long, boring slides that your audience hopelessly tries to digest or, worse, that your speaker reads. Dan’s presentation is all Dan all the time, so your audience will stay engaged, entertained, and educated.

Every Presentation Is Customized

Dan directly and successfully applied his CX solutions to multiple companies and industries—food and beverage, health insurance, payment card, AI/software, and beyond—so you can trust he’ll do the same for your company or industry. Your participants will feel Dan speaking directly to them and addressing the issues they face.

He Goes Above and Beyond

Dan isn’t a love-’em-and-leave-’em kind of speaker. You know the type—show up just before going on, give the speech, disappear, and now you feel like the Bachelorette who didn’t get a rose. Dan intentionally blocks a full day for networking, Q&A, book signing, and more.

Easy Speaker, Eager Supporter

No extravagant demands for first-class travel or Evian on ice. Dan is reachable, responsive, and generous with his time —including pre- and post-event meetings and promoting your event to his highly engaged followers.

He’s Just a Cool Guy

Ask him about delivering a pizza to Michael Jordan, singing the National Anthem at three baseball stadiums, and all the other fun things he’s done. Plus, he offsets carbon emissions for every event, so, like, literally cool.
