In an age of polarization, disconnection, shallow substitutes for real relationships, every leader needs to know how to build and maintain meaningful relationships with clients and teams alike in our hybrid reality.

With years of experience interviewing established leaders in business, entertainment, and innovation, audiences will gain the following insights:

•    Spark real, authentic conversations to make meaningful connections, personally and professionally.

•    Explore the questions that create breakthrough moments in any conversation.

This engaging experience is a candid and far-ranging look at how creative conversations can help you reinvent yourself, re-energize your brand, and further develop your business.
 

It’s no wonder that sales often get a bad rap. In a world of dwindling authentic connections, it’s easy to see sales as the least authentic interaction of all. But this doesn’t have to be the case. By transforming the way they and their teams interact with customers, sales leaders can forge more human connections that lead to dramatically improved sales outcomes.

•    Craft compelling stories that activate passion in your customers and tell those stories in a compelling way.
•    Explore the key questions that lead to breakthrough conversations with customers.

This captivating talk goes beyond sales tactics to explore Meghji’s lifetime of work creating authentic connections, sharing key principles to turn sales into an art and discipline of crafting real relationships and experiences — not just transactions.
 

Customer care isn’t just about fixing problems. It’s about forging relationships with your customers that go beyond an initial transaction. Great products help launch companies. Great customer care sustains them for long-term success.
