Session 2: Client Satisfaction

Wednesday, December 2 | 10:00 – 11:30 A.M.

“Customer service” has long been a business buzzword, but does your company pay it little more than lip service? You may have been able to “get away” with providing a lackluster customer service experience pre-COVID, but in today’s battered economy, delivering a wonderful client experience is everything. (And if you won’t, your competitors will.)

Joe Campolo and Donna Sirianni have taken these words to heart in their own businesses. Using the book Satisfaction: How Every Great Company Listens to the Voice of the Customer as a guide, Joe and Donna will share how business leaders can give their customer service practices an honest look, what to revamp and how to do it, and how to turn apathetic clients into advocates for your business.

It’s been more than seven months since the coronavirus pandemic changed our lives forever. Joe Campolo and Peter Klein launched “Business Unusual” back in May, interviewing business leaders, elected officials, and industry experts each week to help the business community navigate our new reality. As the pandemic stretched on, topics expanded from economic relief to issues of mental health, science, and social justice, attracting a loyal following hungry for both information and connection.

As “Business Unusual” draws its 2020 season to a close before Election Day, what lessons have we learned and how can we translate this knowledge into meaningful change for Long Island and the business community? Don’t miss our final episode of 2020 as Joe and Peter reflect on these important conversations and discuss the path forward.
