During his keynote presentation "Desperately Seeking Service: Getting Your Organization to Look Beyond Satisfaction" on June 8, Gray will hold a discussion on the issue of customer service and what it means for your organizations. He will take you through a series of funny and thought provoking real world service experiences, seen through the eyes of the customer. Gray will explore the subtle messages related to customer service and highlight the most common reasons why customers stop using your services.

In addition, Gray will educate his audience during a breakout session on June 8, about what others "hear" when they listen to you. Studies have shown that when others listen to you, only 7 percent of what they "hear" is words; "93 percent" of what they "listen" to is your tone of voice and body language. His presentation "The 93 pecent Rule: How to Listen to your Customers" takes a look at some common applications and misapplications of "The 93 percent Rule" in personal and professional interaction.
