Attention Pays™ – Elevating Experiences to Accelerate Results

To get the results you want, you need to get the attention of your potential clients. Too often, we see attention as a transaction, or something to trade. The truth is, it’s much more complex than that. When it comes to building connections and long-term loyalty, attention is not a luxury, it’s a necessity

To really get the attention and buy-in of your team and clients, you need to appeal to them on three different levels: personal, professional, and global.

Neen James has designed a professional methodology to make it easier to leverage all three, helping individuals and organizations to be more deliberate about the choices they make and the actions they take.

The result? With the gift of your attention, you’ll see increased profitability, productivity, and accountability within your organization — you’ll develop luxurious, memorable experiences for your clients, gaining their loyalty and advocacy.

You’ll learn:

  • Why we get attention wrong (and how to get it right)
  • The three types of attention and how to master each
  • Strategies to design your environment for elevated attention and focus
  • How to show attention to every client so they understand everyone deserves to be treated with luxury
  • A simple framework to elevate every sales conversation and articulate your value

Luxury Leadership: How to Create Experiences that Exceed Expectations Every Day

As a leader, one of your most important responsibilities is determining how to craft and deliver exceptional experiences that create advocates for your organization to get attention, differentiate your offerings, and grow your business.

All too often, though, it’s the lines of business you’re responsible for—not to mention your top-line and bottom-line goals—that get your time and attention. Yet it’s you, the leader, that sets the standard for experiences throughout the organization, which means it is your leadership that sets the level of those experiences.

Thankfully, there are examples everywhere of unforgettable experiences: the world of luxury. While you may think that your company isn’t a luxury one or that you don’t serve luxury clients, even most luxury brands agree that luxury isn’t about things. Luxury is a mindset where exceeding expectations every day becomes the goal of every experience. When you adopt that same mindset as a leader, you’ll elevate communication, attention, and experiences for your organization that show up not only on the front lines of your business but in your bottom line, as well.

Join leadership strategist and luxury expert Neen James as she shares strategies for leveraging the luxury mindset for your clients and team, all based on her proprietary research. You’ll learn a simple framework to help you develop and implement a Luxury Leadership model, leading you to discover unique opportunities to elevate experiences that transcend mere transactions and exceed expectations at every opportunity.

In this interactive, high-energy session, Neen will empower you to:

  • Cultivate a luxury attention mindset within your teams to enhance every client interaction.

  • Speak the language of clients you want to attract, resonating with their unique perspectives.

  • Articulate the value of your organization with her unique Platinum Positioning framework to enhance all business development conversations.

  • Elevate opportunities that inspire clients to become advocates for your organization
