What organization doesn’t want to create more sales?
But truly Remarkable organizations aren’t focused on increasing sales, they’re focused on creating raving fans.
Raving fans are people who
In this talk, Former Chick-fil-A Marketing VP David Salyers recounts Chick-fil-A’s biggest successes and shares the principles and strategies behind those successes that you can use to connect deeply with customers, who ultimately demand and fund your business growth.
How many businesses do you come across in a day that are just plain unremarkable? They have nothing unique that sets them apart from their competitors, and they exist only to extract value from their customers. To put it simply, there’s nothing about these types of organizations that’s worth remarking about.
But what if we could shift the paradigm? What if we could truly understand what makes certain businesses “remarkable” and apply those principles to our own organizations?
In this signature talk, David Salyers powerfully does just that. In “Remarkable,” David will walk through how the shift from extracting value from other people to creating value for other people can radically change your business and the impact it will make to your customers, employees, stakeholders and even your bottom line.
Exploring key themes on culture, values, and mission, “Remarkable” is an engaging and memorable speech that has the potential to impact you and your organization to the very core.
When businesses consider their customer experience strategy, they often focus on mitigating the negative experiences – making up for the slow service, apologizing for the inconsiderate employee, refunding for the lost order. By focusing only on the problems that need to be fixed, they set the bar at average or, at best, forgettable.
But there’s a new approach to customer experience, an approach that focuses on creating memorable positive experiences – “Remarkable moments” – instead of just fixing the negative ones. In this compelling talk, David will explore this paradigm shift and challenge the way your organization approaches hospitality and service, sharing about Chick-fil-A’s unique “Second Mile Service” strategy.
Using moving examples from Chick-fil-A Team Members across the country, he’ll expand on your opportunity to generate incredible ROI through creating daily Remarkable moments and will challenge you to see your business as not only an opportunity for monetization, but also for “moment-ization.”

This keynote challenges leaders to reimagine business as a platform for impact, building remarkable cultures and meaningful brands that improve lives.
In this inspirational keynote, the speaker poses a bold question: What would the world look like if we dared to use business as a platform to improve people’s stories? He argues that the foundation of any great brand is a remarkable culture, one so authentic and inspirational that it naturally fuels brand value and loyalty.
True leadership, he suggests, is about more than profit; it’s about serving people in ways that leave them with moments worth remarking about. Meaningful brands, he emphasizes, hold a powerful competitive edge because they don’t just deliver products or services they create emotional value and improve the lives of those they touch.
The keynote envisions business not just as a vehicle for financial growth, but as a force for positive change. By focusing on creating value for customers, employees, and communities, organizations can build cultures so compelling that they spread like wildfire, inspiring both loyalty and advocacy.
