With his diverse and amazing background, he is qualified to speak on many topics; however, his focus is on just one: creating compelling experiences that develop enhanced loyalty and profitability.

The Collapse of Distinction
How does a professional – or even an entire organization – deal with the phenomenon that Scott McKain calls “the Collapse of Distinction”? There are three ominous factors that pull every company back to the pack like a magnet. Without understanding these “Destroyers of Differentiation,” a voyage on the “sea of sameness” is inevitable. Next, visionary companies and colleagues seek to become distinct. In this compelling presentation, Scott reveals the Four Cornerstones of Distinction – and how to stand out and move up through the creation of the Ultimate Customer Experience!®

What Customers REALLY Want
Based upon Scott’s #1 bestselling business book by the same name, this program addresses the Six Disconnections between what customers crave versus what most organizations offer. Through his research – first into the nineteen companies of a $100+ million organization where he formerly served as Vice Chairman, and other top clients of international renown – he discovered extensive gulfs between client desires and company delivery.

ALL Business is Show Business
As Scott McKain wrote in his first business bestseller, every professional and each organization must develop the kind of connection with its customers that a blockbuster film or compelling television program creates with its audience! We have become a culture that expects an experience to be an integral part of doing business. Therefore, those organizations that understand how to execute the strategies necessary for creating compelling relationships thorough the customer and employee experience will find themselves leading the pack.

Scott’s latest book is “Collapse of Distinction: Stand Out and Move Up While Your Competition Fails.” It takes a revolutionary approach in clearly showing how organizations and individual professionals create differentiation in the market — vital in securing customers and growing market share. “Collapse of Distinction” already been called by one reviewer as “one of the most important business books” in recent history, and was named by several major publications — such as the “Miami Herald” — and by top critics as one of the “Top Ten Business Books of 2009.”
