Competition is tougher than ever these days and competing on price or product just doesn’t work as well anymore. So how can companies stand out in a crowded marketplace that is constantly evolving?

The answer is customer experience, and the best part about customer experience is that it’s delivered by human beings which are unique to a company. Named a Top Business Book of 2021 by Forbes, The Experience Maker helps managers and executives focus on customers who are already spending money with their company rather than spending more money on marketing new customers. In The Experience Maker, Dan Gingiss teaches that creating a remarkable experience for customers will ensure they become a company’s best marketers and salespeople. By learning from the successes of other companies and applying the proprietary WISER method (Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary, Responsive), managers and executives learn to create remarkable experiences that their customers will want to talk about with friends, family, and social media followers.

Review

“If an experience happened to you and you never shared it, did it actually happen? The answer is yes. Dan is The Experience Maker. After years of designing experiences, Dan shares with you everything he’s learned to help you become an experience maker now and in a post-disruption world.” –Brian Solis, world-renowned digital anthropologist, futurist, and bestselling author

”Despite the fact that I’m a sales and marketing guy, I feel it’s time we all started talking a LOT more about customer experience. That’s why this book by Dan Gingiss is so very important. And what’s great about this work is that he has systematized CX, something very few have done well up to this point. So if you’re looking for a clear, proven system that will elevate your customer experience, retention, and ultimately sales, this book is a MUST read.” – Marcus Sheridan, partner at Marcus Sheridan International/IMPACT and author of They Ask, You Answer

“From in-person interactions to digital conversations, any business that hopes to succeed in the future must combine strategic insights with tactical application to deliver remarkable customer experiences. In The Experience Maker, Dan Gingiss brings to bear over twenty years of overseeing customer engagement at Discover, Humana, McDonald’s, and dozens of small- and medium-sized businesses. His WISER methodology offers a playbook for creating raving fans in a consistent, scalable fashion that will be valuable to your business regardless of your size, scale, or industry. Stop reading blurbs and just buy this book—you won’t be disappointed.” –Joey Coleman, speaker, consultant, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Never Lose a Customer Again

“Remember that one experience that made an impression on you for life? That is this book! Meta, right? Let’s face it, if you are a human being, you’re in the experi- ence business. Buy this book, make it your bible, and learn how to create big and micro human moments your customers will never forget.” – Bryan Kramer, TED Talk speaker and USA Today bestselling author of Human-to-Human

“Dan Gingiss crushes it with his new book. The Experience Maker is about com- peting in experience wars not price wars. That is how to build brand loyalty in an economy. This is a great book!” – John R. DiJulius III, chief revolution officer of The DiJulius Group and author of The Customer Service Revolution

“Is your brand’s customer experience remarkable? If not (or even if it is), this is your go-to book to up your game! Dan provides a thought-provoking model for you to employ to design and deliver a remarkable experience for your customers. This book is not based on theory; you will find practical and actionable examples that not only bring the concepts to life but also allow you to translate the proprietary model to your business.” – Annette Franz, founder/CEO of CX Journey Inc. and author of Customer Understanding: Three Ways to Put the “Customer” in Customer Experience (and at the Heart of Your Business)

“In The Experience Maker, Dan Gingiss delivers a playbook that CMOs have been waiting for to implement industry-leading customer experience market - ing. Providing a clear and powerful framework with his WISER model, Dan helps companies in this post-pandemic economy to design the right digital experience to ensure they adapt to changing trends. Strategically focusing on the customer experience in the digital age is no longer an option: Market share will be determined more and more by customer experience. That is what makes The Experience Maker all the more timely and important for every CMO and CEO to read.” – Neal Schaffer, president of PDCA Social and author of The Age of Influence

“A great book on the importance of building a shareable (contagious!) customer experience; another winner from the wise and sparkling pen of Dan Gingiss.” – Micah Solomon, customer service turnaround expert and author of Ignore Your Customers (and They’ll Go Away)

“Dan Gingiss makes a compelling case for using customer experience as your top marketing strategy. The Experience Maker reveals a helpful model and shares numerous examples to help you discover how to get customers talking about your business.” – Jeff Toister, author of The Service Culture Handbook

“Dan Gingiss has found the secret to building a company that breaks through the competition. In The Experience Maker, Dan lays out the blueprint for standing out and succeeding in business today by winning with customer experience. Stop competing and start creating remarkable experiences one customer at a time. This is a book that needs to be shared over and over again. Bravo, Dan Gingiss, for paving the way for the future of customer experience.” – Jesse Cole, owner of The Savannah Bananas and author of Find Your Yellow Tux

“2020 changed the customer experience landscape in ways most of us couldn’t predict. Dan’s WISER approach not only addresses the shifts in the economy and customer behavior, but it also thrives in a world where customer lifetime value is the essential business fortification of every company. This book serves as a perfect blueprint for companies that wish to grow amidst economic calamity.” – Dennis Wakabayashi, VP of CX Solutions Delivery at RR Donnelley

“Dan’s passion for the power of a memorable customer experience is inspiring, and his ideas for how organizations can routinely deliver it are direct and action- able. In today’s hyper-connected world, good news travels as fast as bad news, so every organization has even more incentive to create repeatable processes that make ordinary customer experiences extraordinary. This book will help you lead your organization in building a customer-first growth strategy.” – Chuck Cohen, managing director of Benco Dental Company

“Dan approaches customer service like no one else. He puts the heart and purpose into it. I truly believe he was born to teach all the major companies we buy from how to provide an experience leading to customer service on another level. In addition, if you ever experience his style of sharing his custom process via his talks, consulting, and hosting, you will be mesmerized and changed for a lifetime. If you have a team that needs inspiration and process, it needs The Experience Maker —hands down!” – Marquesa Pettway, lifestyle business mastermind creator and Zoom strategist

“Dan Gingiss understands every aspect of customer experience, having worked in corporate environments and advising leaders as a successful entrepreneur. His book provides a wealth of actionable information based on proven best practices. Regardless of skill level, you’ll learn a lot and be glad you invested the time to be a better experience maker!” – Stacy Sherman, founder of DoingCXRight®

"Recommended reading for any salesperson or marketer who wants to reach customers on more than a financial level. It shows how to go above and beyond most sales routines to create and transmit an experienced-based form of success." -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
“When it comes to customer experience, you have to ‘be amazing or go home.’ And that’s exactly what Dan Gingiss has accomplished with his new book, The Experience Maker. This will become your go-to resource for creating amazing experiences for your customers, and then watching as they tell everyone about it. Dan’s professional background, remarkable storytelling ability, and practical advice make this your must-read CX book!” –Shep Hyken, customer service/experience expert and New York Times bestselling author of The Amazement Revolution

“For every business that suspects their only true differentiator is customer experience, this is the indispensable playbook for making it work.” –Jay Baer, founder of Convince & Convert and co-author of Talk Triggers

The Experience Maker has been listed on LinkedIn’s “10 New Books to Gift a Marketer (Or Yourself) This Holiday Season," TopRank Marketing’s “Read It & Reap: 11 Top New Marketing Books To Savor,” Uniphore’s “Top Books CX Leaders Should Read in 2021” and Sales Enablement PRO’s “Top 21 Books for Enablement Practitioners in 2021.

A true guide to creating experiences that will win over customers
Customer experience has long been a word people throw around in meetings and at conferences. But, as Ann Handley perfectly put it in the foreword of this book, experience is the best marketing. In fact, the old ways of marketing are no longer enough on their own. If you want to step beyond being mediocre in the eyes of those paying your bills and actually create experiences for your customers that are so memorable and share-worthy they'll be recounting them at networking events for years to come, while growing your business for you, this book is for you. Don't be fooled - some of the examples featured in this book may mention big brands but absolutely anyone CAN do these things if the have the right goals in mind and focus on the customer. This book will teach you how. (There's even a fun bonus challenge available in the book!).

 If you’re a CX fan or aficionado, get ready to get WISER!

I did something today that I’ve never done before.

I made a book review video (you can see it above).

This book is SO GOOD and SO VALUABLE.

It’s filled with dozens of of simple, practical, inexpensive ideas for enhancing your customers experiences. Case study after case study (from companies that aren’t the “usual suspects” you’ve heard about) detail creative solutions for connecting with your customers in ways that are Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary, and Responsive (or WISER as one might say).

My favorite passage comes from p.57 - in the chapter on creating Shareable experiences:

“… there’s no such thing as an “offline” experience anymore. We used to have offline experiences: an airplane, a subway, an office meeting, a bedroom rendezvous. But now everything we do, everywhere we go, we can pull out our phones, take a picture or video, and turn an offline experience into an online experience. So with every part of your company’s experience, you have to ask yourself if you want it shared on social media. This is not just about being afraid of what people might say, it’s about how you design it so people “want” to share the experience.”

The book has some great visuals so I recommend the paperback or even better, hardcover version as they translate better on the page than in an e-book.

There's so many business advice books out there. Its a bit hard to find one that is worth the time and effort. So many of them can be daunting to read and a struggle to apply. This book was recommended to me and I'm glad I put in the effort. Its easy to get through and easy to pull out practical, actionable tactics that you can apply right away. The examples he uses to illustrate his points are interesting and help illustrate the concepts. I've spent most of my career focused on price, promotions and product and figured the customer service folks can deal with the actual customers. This book helped me reorient my thinking and will help me in my career. My surprising bonus discovery was that some of the concepts in this book got me thinking about tweaking the way I interact with key people in my personal life as well. Thank you kind author.

The great thing about Dan is that he finds so many ways to make a difference by paying attention to the details. And shoring up the details of your customer experience is a way to achieve results beyond your wildest expectations for FREE (or at the very least - exceptionally inexpensively).

Simplifying and clarifying your language can profoundly affect how customers navigate the things you offer. The same goes for normalizing your communication channels, so wherever your customers contact you, they get the same outcomes (phone, email, social, face-to-face). Even taking the time to fix "known errors" (c'mon, you know you have some!!!) can make a huge difference in eliminating barriers and increasing results.

The Experience Maker is an invaluable book for those with small or non-existent promo/ad budgets. As a marketer at a municipal public library, I can tell you that the ideas Dan offers are invaluable.

As a bonus, Dan is funny and engaging both on the written page and in the audiobook. It makes for a smooth ride through the stories and advice and helps to make the ideas stick.

I highly recommend anyone in marketing, sales, customer service (and customer experience) pick up The Experience Maker today. You'll walk away with great ideas and a plan to apply them to every marketing/cx experience you encounter.

I like his(/their) combination of case histories as Lilly Pads to land on and leap from as the story unfolds. As much red meat as any of the others out there, but there's also something on this book that iingers in the subconscious... something that continues to feed long after the last page is turned. Works (and is still working) for me-- and I'm sure it will for anyone sincerely in deepening their contribution to others.

Warning: This book might lead to an office-wide epiphany epidemic. It did for me, hence the bulk order: as soon as I finished it, I ordered a copy for every member of my team and warned everyone to get ready for a brainstorming bonanza. So many "a-ha" moments and "I can't believe we're not doing that already" thoughts! If you're looking to up your CX game, get this book. Then, get it for your team and level up together.

Lets face it -- there are many books out there on how to deliver a better experience for your customers. So, why is this one from Dan Gingiss a "must-read"?

Two aspects: First, it's practical. Many CX books are great when it comes to the philosophy of service or seeing the importance of CX from 30K feet. Dan's book is imminently practical. It uses real-world examples that we can all learn from, no matter the size or scope of our respective businesses.

Second, it's actionable. Dan clearly shows you the actual steps you need to take to create remarkable customer experiences. If you just follow his action steps, you will enhance your repeat and referral business -- which means greater profitability.

Get this book -- and grow!

 The book everyone should read is “The experience economy”. Experience is everything. Is your business designed for customer and employee delight? That is why I picked up “The Experience Maker: How to Create Remarkable Experiences That Your Customers Can’t Wait to Share”.

Customers

Today’s consumers are not the consumers of yesterday. They are more resourceful, selective, technological, and accustomed to convenience. Each of the five generations—the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z—prefers different methods of communication, has different attitudes toward technology, and chooses different customer service channels as consumers.

How good is your CX?

They all search for the unforgettable story. For customer empathy. For authenticity. What does it feel like to be your customer? What does it feel like to be your employee? How do you achieve word of mouth on steroids?

The statistics

75% of people don’t accept advertisements as truth.
90% believe brand recommendations from friends. 
66% of consumers could not remember the last time a brand exceeded their expectations
Nearly half (49%) of consumers feel the brands they engage with don’t meet their expectations for a good experience. 
Word of mouth is the most common response to a positive experience.
59% claim to have made a purchase from a company because they heard or read about someone else’s good experiences.
72% of customers say, “I am loyal to certain brands, but as soon as I have a bad experience with them, I move on.”
A totally satisfied customer contributes 2.6 times as much revenue to a company as a somewhat satisfied customer.
A totally satisfied customer contributes 14 times as much revenue as a somewhat dissatisfied customer.
42% of B2B businesses don’t have even a single person focused squarely on customer experience.
60% of customers agree with the statement, “I often feel that brands who should know me don’t know me very well.”
82% of customers say technology should improve their online brand experiences.
56% of online retail shoppers and 49% of offline shoppers expect consistent levels of service across physical and digital channels.
CX as a talk trigger

The factors that influenced decisions to choose or continue using particular brands are personal experience (50%) and the opinions of friends, family, or known peers. Focusing on customer experience is a winning strategy, particularly in a recession. So your CX needs to become a talk trigger.

Good news

The truth is, the bar for customer experience is very, very low. 90% of customers believe that when it comes to delivering a good customer experience, most brands fail to meet their expectations. However, 82% of marketers believe they are meeting customer expectations concerning customer experience.

WISER

The author developed a methodology. WISER stands for Witty, Immersive, Shareable, Extraordinary and Responsive. The book is full of cracking examples.

Witty. Look at every piece of communication that you have and try to figure out how you can change the words to be a little bit more clever, to maybe put a smile on someone’s face.
Immersive: The problem is that siloed businesses create siloed experiences because every department owns a different part of the experience, and the departments often don’t communicate. Being immersive means delivering a consistent, connected experience so that the whole thing feels right to the customer. Use all senses.
Shareable: Create a shareable moment.
Extraordinary: When designing remarkable experiences: be simple, practical, and keep it inexpensive. Going above and beyond, whether with a handwritten note or an unexpected “surprise and delight” moment, is one of the best ways to get your customers to sing your praises—not only to their friends and family but to the rest of the world on social media. 
Responsive: Customer service starts when the customer experience fails. The first rule of thumb is to serve the customer in the channel of their choice, not the channel of your choice. It is the responsibility of the business to meet its customers where they are. As a channel and as a moment. Read "The context marketing revolution". Being responsive in the channel of the customer’s choice means being available in multiple places, sometimes even in evolving service channels.
Channels

According to Sitel Group, the telephone was the most popular channel for brand engagement as recently as 2018. But by 2020, it was in third place behind email and online chat, with social media not far behind. They found that consumers who use social media (publicly or via private direct message) in a customer service scenario were most likely to expect an answer within minutes. Read "Social customer service".

Other things to do

Be personal. Even billionaire Elon Musk has been known to personally respond to customers’ Tesla questions on Twitter, just as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos shares his email address for customers to use. If they can do it, so can you.
Don’t be afraid of complaints. Complaints are often more valuable than compliments because they tell a company how it is missing the mark in terms of customer experience.
Simplify your communication (read your own customer communications out loud).
Eliminating pain points/friction
Simplify the navigation on your website. Do not use generic labels.
Personalise 
Be fast
Be consistent
Apply technology (chatbots, AI, etc.)
Appoint a chief experience officer
To go back to "The Experience Economy", or other books such as “Winning on purpose”  or “Firms of endearment” (there are many more), you can rest assured that customer experience will continue to be the ultimate differentiator for businesses in every industry.
