Louie Gravance is a keynote speaker and the author of "Service is a Superpower!" He worked for over 25 years at the Walt Disney Company and the Disney Institute, where he designed customer service training programs. Many a time, he is referred to as “the guy that can make the Disney service concepts work outside of Disney.” Since his departure from Disney, he has worked as a consultant, customer service speaker, and corporate culture guru.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉 “In great service, you have to do what you don't have to do”

👉 Appeal to customers’ emotions by appealing to every sense from the moment they make contact with your product or service

👉 “An investment of yourself is an investment in yourself”

👉 Be an inspiration to others; inspire other people to be everything that they can be, that they're already hardwired to be

👉 “The one learns from the wizard, and the wizard learns from the one”

👉 There's power in the connection between delighting an audience and delighting a customer

👉 “...Serving someone and something other than yourself is…a superpower”

👉 “Great service serves the server first"

👉 Tell stories through your services; engage customers or clients in a shared narrative

👉 “You're not just selling things or providing a service; every transaction is an emotional transaction”

👉 “Exceeding anyone's expectations is exceeding your own, thus being stronger”

👉 “Whether we can see it in our vision at that moment or not, every time we exceed anyone's expectations, we broaden the horizon of what we're willing and able to be”

👉 “Give recognition for the values that your customers wish for the most and not the values you need the most”

👉 Recognition is a magic wand and a sharp weapon that should not be misused

👉 Although there is power in not being afraid of failure, everyone needs to have a gigantic failure when they're young
