That&#8217;s the key -listening to make sure that you understand the customers and that you make them feel that you understand. When a customer calls up with a complaint, we obviously can&#8217;t change the past.

As competitors render better and better service, customers become more demanding. Their expectations grow. When every company&#8217;s service is shoddy, doing a few things well can earn you a reputation as the customer&#8217;s saviour. But when a competitor emerges from the pack as a service leader, you have to do a lot of things right. Suddenly achieving service leadership costs more and takes longer. It may even be impossible if the competition has too much of a head start. The longer you wait, the harder it is to produce outstanding service.<br \/>\nWilliam H.

The result of a business is a satisfied customer.<br \/>\nPeter Drucker<\/p>\n<p>The true leader serves. Serves people.

But because true leaders are motivated by loving concern rather than a desire for personal glory, they are willing to pay the price.<br \/>\nEugene B. Habecker<\/p>\n<p>The way to a customer\u2019s heart and wallet lies in how well we initially serve our customers and recover from poor service.<br \/>\nUnknown<\/p>\n<p>There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.<br \/>\nRoger Staubach<\/p>\n<p>There is only one boss.

Call centers are designed to get &#8217;em on the line, get &#8217;em off the line. But what companies forget is that customers know when they&#8217;re being treated badly. And when you&#8217;re not treated well, you&#8217;re going to go somewhere else or make the company pay. You&#8217;re going to call back, madder, and go for management -maybe with lawsuits.<br \/>\nAnn Humphries<\/p>\n<p>To my customer. I may not have the answer, but I\u2019ll find it.

That is our job. I always say we have to give most of the people what they want most of the time. That is what is expected of us.<br \/>\nWilliam Paley<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your business is, talk to your customers and provide them with what they want. It makes sense.<br \/>\nRobert Bowman, CEO Major League Baseball Advanced Media<\/p>\n<p>When you start viewing your customers as interruptions, you&#8217;re going to have problems.<br \/>\nKate Zabriskie<\/p>\n<p>Without great employees you can never have great customer service.<br \/>\nRichard F.

He is not dependent on us \u2013 we are dependent on him.<br \/>\nUnknown<\/p>\n<p>A sale is not something you pursue, it is something that happens to you while you are immersed in serving your customer.<br \/>\nUnknown<\/p>\n<p>As far as customers are concerned you are the company.
