Delivering on-brand service-- service that supports and extends a company’s brand-- can provide enormours competitive advantage. Branded customer service goes way beyond excellent service and living the culture. It is a strategic and organized way to deliver on-brand customer experiences that magnify brand promises. It adds value to target markets by driving home the essence of a brand. In so doing, branded customer service can become so valuable that it takes on the power of a brand unto itself. “Simply delivering excellent service, or as we refer to it, ‘excellent generic customer service,’ is no longer enough today to distinguish a business’s products and services.”

“The distinction between customer relationships that have added emotional value and those that are emotionally insensitive may seem trivial, but it is a huge potential-filled room into which many organizations have barely entered, and they are frankly at a loss to know what to do once they get there. While the cost of adding emotional value is frequently minimal in contrast to upgrading the tangible or “hard” side of service, this is not to say that adding emotional value is free or without effort.”

from Emotional Value by Janelle Barlow and Dianna Maul

Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2000Nominated for the Benjamin Franklin

Business Book Award

“When customers feel dissatisfied with products and services, they have two options: they can say something or they can walk away. If they walk away, they give organizations virtually no opportunity to fix their dissatisfaction. Complaining cus-tomers are still talking with us, giving us an opportunity to return them to a state of satisfaction so they will be more likely to buy from us again. So, as much as we might not like to receive negative feedback, customers who complain are giving us a gift.”

As a speaker, she draws upon her broad educational background and practical management experience. Over 100,000 people from all continents have participated in and been charmed by Janelle’s training programs and speeches.

As an author, she co-wrote a bestselling business book, A Complaint Is a Gift. This book is currently available in 20 languages. An animated videotape on the same subject has been produced. Her book Emotional Value has been nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Business Book award. Branded Customer Service was released October 2004 and has also been nominated for several awards. Janelle’s articles have appeared in dozens of international and national publications.

“Branded Customer Service” is a brand education program, seminar and keynote based on Janelle Barlow’s latest bestselling book.

The Branded Customer Service process represents the newest step for organizations to take that are serious about both the brand and customer service.

Companies spend millions of dollars each year on branding and advertising yet largely ignore how the brand is actually delivered during customer service interactions thus losing out on tremendous brand building opportunities.

In today’s competitive marketplace, a company can deliverexcellent customer service and yet still lose customers if customer service experience is not directly linked to the brand. Published October 2004

If your advertising dollars deliver one brand message and your staff deliver a different brand message, you’ve got a problem!

• Brand messages can be built not just through advertising and public relations but through customer

service delivery

• Evaluate your customer service not only on whether it is excellent or not but also on whether or not it delivers your brand message

• Specific steps your organization needs to implement and how to teach employees on delivering your brand during customer service interactions

• Branding needs to exist in the HR and customer service departments as much as it does in the marketing

and advertising departments.

• Why you can deliver excellent service and still lose customers

• On-brand and off-brand customer service exercises

• brands live in the minds of the consumer

• Decide which emotions and language your brand represents during customer service

• Program covers many case studies demonstrating what is required to brand your service.

Program and keynote is based on Janelle Barlow’s latest book. Foreword is written by Howard Putnam, Former CEO of Southwest Airlines

Adding emotional value to the customer experience:Emotional Intelligence Meets the Experience Economy

Two 21st Century business ideas that must be understood and then acted upon.

1) Emotional intelligence is a prerequisite for success in today’s experience economy.

2) Satisfaction scales tell us little about customer loy-alty.

Did you know that...

• emotional value has economic value?• emotions are the basic motivators for action, and we

can build strong relationships with this motivation?• complaints can be viewed as emotional opportuni-

ties?

Janelle Barlow, co-author of the highly acclaimed book, Emo-tional Value, will walk your audiences through the maze of research and statistics on customer emotions.

Janelle customizes each of her presentations. Possible topics include:

• Emotional Value—why it’s critical in today’s ex-perience economy.

• Satisfaction Scales—why they tell us so little about genuine customer satisfaction.

• An Emotion-friendly Service Culture—choosing emotional competence as your organization’s service model.

• The Customer’s Zone of Tolerance—why it’s im-portant and how to expand it.

• Empathy—Maximizing customer experiences.

• Customer Impact Job Description—why the way your customers look at what you do is more im-portant than the way you look at what you do.

• Nonverbal Communication—why you are respon-sible for all the messages you send.

• The James Bond Technique—why the first four minutes are so crucial.

Unbind Your Mind: Innovation in the WorkplaceIs it possible...

...for everyone in your organization to use their capacity for innovation so they can dramatically increase their level of contribution to your business goals?

Researchers say that it is! But it doesn’t happen automati-cally. Here’s what Janelle Barlow in her extensive research on creativity and innovation has discovered:

• Innovation is a skill that can be enhanced through regular practice.

• How we think about creativity influences our ability to be innovative.

• There are six basic characteristics of creative people.• In today’s competitive world, all companies need more

creativity to solve every day problems, generate ideas to increase revenues, and to set realistic goals.

The ancient art of Chinese foot binding started as an act of innovation in dancing and then became a social practice that crippled over a billion Chinese women.

We don’t bind our feet like the Chinese women of old, but we do bind our minds with limiting beliefs and practices that cripple our innate ability to innovate.

Topics that Dr. Barlow will customize:

• The Chinese bound foot phenomenon: How the phenom-enon impacts us today & the price we pay for it.

• What is innovation, how to cultivate it, and why it is es-sential in today’s business environment.

• Why feedback is a part of innovation—and how to appro-priately withhold judgment while you brainstorm.

• Belief patterns about innovation—how they help us to look for or ignore evidence of our creativity.

• How to get your brain ready for innovation.

• Creativity in groups—how to develop an innovation-friendly business environment.

Note: This workshop is a great opener for any group involved in a planning retreat, budget session, or product develop-ment meeting.

Dr. Janelle Barlow is the author of two skill-building books on innovation.

High Performance, Speed, and StressWhat if you could manage the speed and pressure of your life so that it positively impacted your performance?

Would it make a difference to your effectiveness and your life?

Did you know?

• Managing stress well doesn’t take a lot of time.• Hard work and speed isn’t necessarily a cause of

stress.• The key to effective stress management begins with

simple awareness.• Control is a critical variable in stress.• People who follow the best practices of “hardy ex-

ecutives” can survive in high pressure environments without getting sick.

Here are topics that Dr. Janelle Barlow will customize for your group.

and yet are able to track details• The Inverted U-shaped Relationships between Optimal

Media Skills: As Important as an MBA DegreeJoin Janelle Barlow in a rousing look at how to be media savvy. Janelle custom-izes her presentation to focus either on media skills or VC. Media skills are es-sential not only for video-conferencing (VC) are critical every time you appear on camera.

When used effectively, VC helps you to be in more places at one time, get ideas and products more quickly to the marketplace, and save travel money. But there are pitfalls to avoid.

successfully. Coauthor of Smart Video-conferencing, New Habits for Virtual Meetings (release date, October, 2002 by Berrett-Koehler Publishers), Dr. Bar-low will walk you through the do’s and don’ts of being media savvy.

If you have ever wondered why tele-vision personalities always look good when on screen, it’s because they use the techniques outlined in Smart Vid-eoconferencing.

So, the next time someone says to you, “Let’s videoconference about that, or I need you to be interviewed on TV,” you’ll be able to perform and commu-nicate at a very high level.

• The power of amplification: You’re bigger than life• Don’t wing it: The camera and audio is always on• Make media equipment your friend, not your enemy• Maximize your presence• The biggest disaster stories on video Most involve the unprepared• Using the power of television in your business• Why videoconferencing now!
