Featured Keynote

Stop Losing Sales: Customer Experience in the age of AI.

AI can make a customer experience faster — or make a bad experience fail at scale.

Your customers do not experience marketing, sales, service, operations, and technology as separate departments. They experience one company.

In this practical keynote, Jeni reveals where disconnected promises, handoffs, systems, and expectations quietly erode trust and cost organizations sales. She shows leaders how to use AI to remove friction without removing the human judgment, connection, and accountability customers still need.

Your audience will learn how to
01
Identify the friction quietly costing the organization trust and revenue
02
Understand the three customer experience gates: Understand, Trust, and Consistency
03
Recognize where AI improves the experience — and where it damages connection
04
Align marketing, sales, service, operations, and leadership around one customer promise
05
Turn customer experience into a practical growth strategy

AI should remove friction — not remove the human relationship.

"Jeni's presentation wasn't just about losing sales — it challenged me to think differently about leadership, accountability, and communication. It's one of those messages that keeps coming back long after the presentation is over."
