The Secret to Delivering Phenomenal Customer Service
Legendary providers of customer service like Zappos, Disney, Nordstrom, and Ritz-Carlton are the exception rather than the norm, according to service expert Steve Curtin. He explains the three elements common to all exceptional customer service experiences—the idea that customer service should be the highest priority of every employee, noting that it’s always voluntary and the employee chooses to deliver exceptional service, and it usually costs no more to deliver than poor service. He explains that companies that provide ordinary customer service aren’t asking their employees to provide the exceptional service, that in return could potentially lead to exceptional results.
