Companies are increasingly leveraging private, Digital Customer Communities to foster customer engagement. Think of these communities as a virtual meeting place for your customers. Building your Digital Customer Community drives Voice of Customer into every customer decision you make, increases customer satisfaction and loyalty, provides superior customer support, helps nurture leads that shorten the sales cycle, and grows sales (40-70% of community customers surveyed buy more products).

Barton Goldenberg, globally respected and influential author, keynote speaker, and futurist announces his new keynote: “Digital Communities Connect You & Your Customers 24/7.”  In his riveting new keynote, Barton will describe the components of your Digital Customer Community:

• A digital lounge where customers meet for a virtual drink, exchange peer-to-peer stories, resolve service or technical issues, ‘Ask the Expert’ questions, take surveys, complete polls, and participate in forums.
• Digital conference rooms, e.g., your technical conference room, your customer service conference room, your employee-only conference room that customers and employees come in and out of to discuss matters, resolve issues, receive training, and more.
• Private customer rooms where you meet with your customers one-on-one to create your annual sales or technical plans, review these plans on a quarterly basis, and introduce them to subject matter experts and others to deepen the relationship.

This keynote builds on Barton’s experience since 2011 of building and/or maintaining Digital Customer Communities for ExxonMobil, Kraft-Heinz, AAA, and others.
