  The Time to Win: Grow Your Business by Satisfying Customers' Need for Speed

  How much are you willing to wait? If you’re like most of your customers, the answer is very little.
  
  Your customers are deciding to buy from you today (and everyday) based on how fast you are (or aren’t). More than half of all customers have made a recent purchase from a business that responded first, even if they were more expensive. And, 2/3 of all customers say speed is as important as price.
  
  Technology can provide a tremendous competitive advantage as companies jockey to deliver The Time to Win: the perfect interval that exceeds customer expectations for responsiveness.
  
  In this dynamic new program from CX expert and researcher Jay Baer, you’ll learn what today’s customers think is fast and
  slow in each communication channel. And you’ll learn specific tools to get faster throughout the customer journey – increasing new customer attraction, and current customer retention.
  
  Based on brand-new, proprietary research, this presentation will have you rethinking your own answer to the “how fast is fast enough?” question. And you’ll be inspired by powerful examples of businesses winning with speed.

  Key points in this program:

  • Why speed is the most important element of customer
    experience
  • How long consumers will wait to hear back from a business
  • How consumers feel when brands are faster (or slower) than they expect
  • The huge connection between responsiveness and revenue
  • Which generation is the most patient, and which is the least patient
  • Specific, concrete plans you can use to determine the perfect responsiveness (The Right Now) in any customer interaction
