10 Different Ways To Do Something Amazing With The Book

RAISE THE FLOOR,
NOT THE CEILING!
The Art of Spectacular Customer Experience
Foreword by
Raymond Aaron
New York Times Bestselling Author
If you've ever sat through a painfully long meeting where someone brags about a 'wow moment' with a customer—buckle up. Raise the Floor, Not the Ceiling isn't about high-fives after fixing something that should've worked in the first place. It's about building a system so reliable, your customers stop being surprised by good service… because it happens every single day.
For too long, companies have thrown glitter on problems instead of solving them. They celebrate recoveries instead of preventing breakdowns. I wrote this book because I’m done watching great teams burn out while leaders chase gimmicks. You want customer loyalty? Start with leadership that reduces mistakes, removes friction, and actually makes customers feel respected.
This book is your no-BS, story-led guide to real improvement. Each chapter walks you through lived experiences, practical activities, and leadership lessons proven to raise the bar (without setting your team on fire). If you’re ready to ditch the drama, drop the ego, and lead a business that delivers with discipline—this isn’t just a book. It’s your new playbook. And it’s the first step into a bigger journey that starts with reading, and continues with transformation.

What's In The Book

Forget the fireworks. In this chapter, I smash the obsession with 'wow moments' and expose the hidden cost of drama-driven service. The real win? Building a floor so solid your customers never fall through it. Less chaos, more consistency—that’s how loyalty grows.

Why Customer-First Matters More Than Ever
Being technically right isn't enough if your process turns customers into enemies. Here, I reveal how customer-first thinking protects your brand, your revenue, and your reputation. Speed up loyalty, reduce churn, and lead in a way that earns real trust.

The Leadership Gap in Customer Experience
There’s a gap between what leaders say and what employees experience. This chapter hits that nerve. If your team can’t see how to live 'customer first,' nothing sticks. I’ll show you how to close the gap with structure, not just slogans.

Strategic Listening: Turning Insight into Action
Customers aren’t short of feedback—you’re short of action. This chapter teaches you how to turn noise into next steps. Learn to listen like a leader, close loops fast, and make your customers feel like they actually matter. Because they do.

Customer Obsession Without Chaos
Obsessed teams burn out if leadership isn’t focused. I’ll show you how to create direction and unity—so your people feel empowered, not exhausted. Get the tools to drive customer obsession without dragging your company into a warzone of confusion.

Culture by Design, Not Default
Culture doesn’t 'emerge'—you design it. In this chapter, I help you embed behaviours, recognition, and rituals that make customer-first leadership stick. No fluff. Just real examples from leaders who made culture their competitive edge by defaulting to nothing.

Customer-Focused Innovation
Innovation that ignores customers is noise. I’ll show you how real innovation starts by listening, co-creating, and scaling what your customers actually care about. Reduce risk, increase buy-in, and build stuff that matters from day one.

Metrics That Matter: Beyond NPS
Forget vanity metrics. This chapter dives into how world-class leaders combine leading and lagging indicators to drive action—not just dashboards. You’ll learn exactly what to measure, what to ditch, and how to use metrics that make an impact.

The Leadership Mindset Shift
Want change? Start with your brain. This chapter rewires how you think, question, and lead. It’s not about being the smartest person in the room—it’s about shifting perspective so that every decision builds trust, not tension.

Lead It, Live It, Lock It In!
This is where it all sticks. I’ll help you operationalise customer-first leadership across your business. No more peaks and crashes—just repeatable practices, empowered teams, and leadership habits that hold even when things get shaky.

About The Author
CHRISTOPHER A. FARNATH
Hi, I’m Christopher Farnath. And I’m not here to sugar-coat corporate nonsense.
I’ve spent the last 25 years in rooms where reputation was on the line—crisis calls at midnight, contract battles with millions at stake, transformations that changed everything. I’ve been the Chief Customer Officer, the boardroom strategist, the fixer. But more than any title, I’ve been the guy fighting to make customer experience more than a poster slogan. Because I’ve seen what happens when broken systems crush customer trust—and employee morale.
This isn't a theory for me. I’ve lived the outages, the escalations, the back-on-track miracles. And I got tired of watching leaders reward fixers instead of builders. That’s why I wrote Raise the Floor—not to flatter egos, but to give leaders a real alternative. One built on reality, not rah-rah.
Here’s why you can trust what’s inside this book:
Led global SaaS teams with 99%+ renewal rates—no magic, just consistency
Saved multi-million-pound accounts by fixing systems, not firefighting
Built the Customer-Focused Leadership Academy, adopted by executives worldwide
Author of Champion Hires: The Art of Spectacular Recruitment
Advisory partner to boards in tech, healthcare, retail, and education
If you want theory dressed up as fluff, this isn’t the place. But if you’re ready to change how your business serves customers to actually protect trust before you break it—you’re in the right hands. Let’s raise the floor, together.
