Synopsis:

What is the best way to improve your company or brand? Well, as surprising as this may be, customer complaints are definitely one method-as counter-productive as that may sound. Not that you want to encourage customers to complain, but knowing your customers' concerns and issues can help your company make the changes it needs to improve and become trusted in the industry and among your customer base. The word complaint carries such a negative connotation that complaints are by default automatically viewed as negative and disappointing. However, they can be used to your benefit if you listen and take appropriate action to resolve them to best satisfy the needs of your customers. Be sure to also teach your employees how to handle complaints through effective customer service training.

Synopsis:

It doesn't take charisma or talent to become an inspirational leader, it takes a desire to learn and dedication to see it through. As Vince Lombari once said, "Great Leaders aren't born, they are made with hard work." An inspirational manager motivates his employees because he follows simple repeatable steps and follows them consistently. First of all, a manager needs to respect his team and let them know the importance of their work matters through his words and his actions. Secondly, an inspirational manager publicly acknowledges the contributions of each of his employees individually. Thirdly, he treats each individual as a valuable person who has goals and needs beyond his job. Any manager who follows these simple steps sincerely will inspire a more motivated and productive team.

Synopsis:

In the business world everyone has customer service standards and everyone knows the basics of customer service. Sometimes it's tough to get an edge in service because everyone has about the same service standards. If you've reached this point, it might be time to hand out some pickles. I don't mean pickles literally. Customer service guru Bob Farrell defines pickles as the extra things you can do in service that make the customer happy. In other words, what can you do beyond the norm to "wow" the customer with your service? In Bob Farrell's case it was literally pickles. He gave extra pickles for free. In your case, it's probably going to be something else.
