An enlightening and entertaining fable that reveals how you can help
to
revolutionize your company by focusing on customers.
Have you ever imagined what impact really great customer experiences can
have on
a business? Or have you ever been faced with trying to fix the
fallout from
truly dissatisfied customers? This engaging book takes you on a
trip starting
with the depths of "call center hell," where customer
dissatisfaction builds as
rapidly as employee stress and turnover.
From there the story takes you along for an up-and-down ride to uncover
new and
better ways of approaching customers and focusing on their concerns
before all
else. The Experience! follows the journey of Joseph Jacobs, a
frustrated call
center manager who is trying to deliver better service to
customers despite a
highly unmotivated staff. As he struggles to find his
way, he discovers hidden
secrets about delivering the most outrageously
pleasing customer experiences by
empowering his staff to be passionate about
their work.
This book provides practical approaches that you can implement
immediately. The
lessons learned include: treat others as you want to be
treated and keep
customers excited--if you provide them with a great
experience, then they will
have no reason to go elsewhere!

October 27, 2002: This book really turned me around on my customer service techniques. Already we have had fewer complaints about our complaints departement. I recomend it for any supervisor who wants to stop angry customers from having to travel five levels to him/her in order to get some service.
