#52 Disney Customer Service Culture, with Vance Morris

This episode on Manage Self, Lead Others on C-Suite Radio I speak with Vance Morris, former senior leader at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. He now shows companies how to increase profits, retain clients and engage employees by adapting the strategies he learned in over a decade at Disney.

[2:03 – 2:08] What did you learn about the customer experience at Walt Disney world?

[2:15 – 2:24] The Disney company can take any mundane, boring thing and turn it into an experience.

[2:58] I call it Disneyfication – creating experiences out of the mundane e.g. answer the phone, send an email, send a package. Why don’t you make an experience out of them?

[4:15 – 4:31] We come up with a service map; every interaction with a client or patient. Whether it’s marketing at the front desk, a telephone call, etc, every single point is mapped out.

[16:56] Walt Disney himself called it ‘Plus It’, which is constant process improvement.

[23:57] If a doctor’s front desk person anticipates the doctor is running late, they can provide anticipatory service. When the patient checks in they just say, “Hey we’re really sorry. The doctor’s running about 10 minutes behind. Let us buy you a cup of coffee” and hand them a $5 gift card for a coffee.
