Customer Voice Keynotes Deliver Impact

Published On: May 1, 2025By

Is there anything that can replace true human connection?  That moment when you feel seen, understood, and valued — it’s emotional, not just intellectual. When we connect, a wave of “feel-good” hormones like oxytocin and dopamine floods our brains, reinforcing the bond. Maya Angelou captured it perfectly: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 

When organizations and brands tap into even a fraction of this deep connection, they become unstoppable.  That’s why “tuning in” is critical.

Tuning In 

When I met with our President Katrina Noelle last week, she was absolutely buzzing. You could feel the zing of the customer connection. 

She and our sister company Scoot Insights had just finished a Customer Voice Keynote at the Foodservice Packaging Institute Spring conference. She facilitated a tuning in moment where connection was established by bringing customers to the stage to discuss their needs and assumptions about single use packaging. The panel format encouraged sharing of experiences—not in anonymous data points, but in real, human stories.  

And the zing also might have been because she was on her way to deliver another Customer Voice Keynote at the WPO Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum. What’s really exciting to see in the number of panels we’re running these days is because when audience members see the power of creating these connection points at events, they’re eager to bring a Customer Voice Keynote to their next internal/brand events like all-hands, team, offsite and board meetings.

Customer Connection Matters: Customer Voice Keynote 

When resources are tight, there’s little room for do-overs. With our customer panel format keynote offering, we’ve created connection points and tuning in moments where individuals can connect directly with their customers —their hopes, frustrations, and driving traits. It allowed the audience to tune into the heartbeat of the people they serve in real-time, all together in one room.

When you tune in: 

  • You break through bias: Assumptions fall away. The truth stands in front of you, clear and undeniable. 
  • You build unshakable confidence: When your whole team hears the same honest stories, they move forward with certainty, not second-guessing. 
  • You create real human bonds: Giving your people a chance to ask the questions they’ve been holding onto — and to hear real-time answers — changes the relationship forever. 
  • You move faster and smarter: No delays. No watered-down summaries. Just real voices, real insights, real action — delivered while the connection is still alive. 

In the end, connection isn’t a metric.  It’s a feeling. And it’s the difference between being a brand that’s tolerated — and one that’s truly connected.
