MUSICAL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE KEYNOTE TALK
'RULES FOR ROCKSTARS'
Intro:
James enters the stage playing electric guitar. The distortion is turned up to 11, setting the tone of what's to come. This unexpected surprise excites, energises and intrigues the crowd. See a video highlight in the videos section below.
Rule #1, Find Inspiration: *NEW FOR 2020*
James explains how he became inspired to make such an impactful entrance and then goes on to share some music from artists who maybe have taken a little too much inspiration from other popular songs, specifically focusing on his 'favorite' music group. He then shares a framework that will help you take inspiration from outside of your industry and innovate the experience you deliver to your customers.
Rule #2, Create Superfans:
James explains that 'Rockstar Companies' don't have customers, they have fans. Just like the superfans of music artists and acts, company superfans will promote, advocate, defend and market the products and their services for free. James shows just how far some superfans will go by sharing some hilarious company superfan tattoos. Some of these need to be seen to be believed. James concludes by suggesting that to create superfans you need to start with your employees. If you turn your employees into fans of your customers, they will turn your customers into fans of your company.
Rule #3, Make it Right:
James tells the story of a time where his actions, though well intentioned, nearly ruined the final show of his band's first major tour. He shares how he managed to fix the experience in the experience and suggests that companies should take this approach to Customer Experience. He suggests that companies should proactively be looking for issues in the experience and fix them before the customer has a chance to get angry or upset that they happened. James shares an analogy about a crowded bar and a simple 4 step framework that can be applied to any customer experience immediately.
Rule #4, Make it Clear:
James talks to us about how a simple misunderstanding can completely derail an otherwise great Customer Experience. He explains that when a customer discovers that they have misunderstood something about your company, product or service they don't blame themselves - they blame you. He cleverly demonstrates this by sharing a series of misheard lyrics that, although simple misinterpretations, change the entire meaning of a song. Warning: you will never hear these songs in the same way again. James suggests that we should work to make things as simple and as easy for our customers to understand as possible or we shouldn't be surprised when they think we've said or promised something that we haven't.
Rule #5, Let Teams Rock:
James explains that after working with hundreds of high performing teams all over the world he has seen that the quickest and easiest way to GET teams to rock, is to LET teams rock, He hammers this home with the acronym Listen, Empower, Trust. James then abandons his attempt to try and explain team work to the crowd with words and decides to invite the crowd to work together and join his band. He splits the crowd into sections and teaches them each a different beat that when combined create a rhythm that James then plays guitar to. This thrilling end to an extremely entertaining and transformative talk leaves the audience inspired and energised to go out and make the necessary changes to their business to ensure that they deliver 'Rockstar Customer Experiences'.
INSPIRATIONALJames' super-power is the power of inspiration. People who attend his talks become inspired, motivated and empowered to make real changes in their personal and work lives.

TESTIMONIALS
"This was definitely one of the best and most memorable keynotes I have ever seen, what a brilliant, engaging, funny and memorable way to think about CX and I have since used many of your brilliant analogies."
Kieron Flood, Client Director, Olive Communications
"This guy is my new hero...your stage event (I mean, what else could it have been called? Okay, maybe I could have said "Epic Performance") was so well crafted from both CX industry and CX practitioner perspectives that I was blown away!"
Dennis Wakabayashi, Vice President, The Integer Group
"Customer Contact Week (CCW) had the pleasure of having James as a speaker and CCW Influencer for CCW Vegas 2019. His rock star performance captivated our attendees. It was an unforgettable, stimulating, and an educational keynote that left our attendees wanting more. James will inspire and motivate you to think about what rock star CX should look like in your organization and how you can make practical changes. Thank you for bringing a fun way to engage with our attendees!"
Sandy Ko, Conference Director - Customer Management Practice
“James, spoke at our supervisors summit. He was by far the best speaker/workshop instructor we have ever used. Our people completely embraced his message on customer experience. and to this day reference his work. In all my years as an executive, James has a riveting style while conveying very important messages on customer experience. I could not recommend using this talented individual more!”
Chief Customer Officer, Batory Foods - Fred Dingraudo
"We have been fortunate to have James Dodkins as the keynote speaker at CX Day. I can assure you that he not only passed on his knowledge but also spread great vibrations with his energy. His presentation "Rules For Rockstars" was outstanding and ignited all of the attendees. Having James on board completely make a difference and raised the bar of the event."
Daniel Cedeño, Academic Director of CX Day Argentina & CX Day Mexico
“It's very rare these days to come across a speaker who radiates honesty and charisma. Far too often these things are drenched in corporate crap, so it was very refreshing to hear a real take on it! Also most speakers I've seen act like they're only there because they've been asked, but what was nice about the segment was that James came across as someone who really cares about CX and wants to make a difference. What a fantastic end to the day! If you're looking for an exceptional motivational speaker around CX, he's your man.”
Mark Jaszczak, Business Improvement & Performance Manager - WHG
