Jesse Cole Biography

Jesse Cole is the owner of the Savannah Bananas, creator of Banana Ball, founder of Fans First Entertainment, author of "Fans First" and personally owns nine yellow tuxedos.

When Cole hits the stage, the audience become fans – of his keynote and of your event. Cole shares what has made his team wildly successful, behind-the-peel stories, hard-earned lessons, and a few other surprises. With his 5 E’s, he teaches you how to stand out in your marketplace, drive explosive growth, and inspire fanatical loyalty.

  • Learn how to never lose a customer again with a step-by-step plan to wow customers after the transaction.

  • What sets you apart. Make experiences so memorable that customers say “You wouldn’t believe…!!”

  • Learn how to create Raving Fans who are loyal instead of customers who are transactional.

  • Learn to map the perfect customer journey with your company.

  • Learn to adapt! When the going gets tough, successful companies get creative!

  • How to be wildly creative on a tight budget. Brilliant ideas don’t have to be expensive.

Everything Savannah Bananas do is unconventional. It shouldn't work. And yet they sell out every game, have a waitlist in the tens of thousands, ship merchandise around the globe, and entertain millions of followers on social media. ESPN calls the Bananas "the greatest show in baseball."

How is this even possible? Jesse Cole puts Fans First.

If this all sounds bananas, that's the point. Normal leaders do normal things and get normal results. But Cole changes the game, breaks the rules, and creates the unforgettable. He has been featured on MSNBC, HBO, CNN, and ESPN – including a 6-part TV series on ESPN in Fall 2022. Cole and his teams have been awarded Organization of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Business of the Year, and have won multiple CPL Championships.
