Why Are We Still Failing At Customer Service?
We all think we can teach this class. We can identify poor service immediately. We see what’s wrong and how it can be fixed in an instant! I like what Ohad Shperling, a writer at Personalics, says: “A bad customer experience -we all know what it feels like. The blow-a-gasket, go-ballistic, hit-the-ceiling, foam-at-the-mouth rage after…

There Will ALWAYS Be One Star Reviews
Check out the book ” milk and honey” by rupi kaur. I read it in one sitting. It’s an amazing book of poetry… Got that suggestion from a friend of mine and immediately clicked through to Amazon to read the reviews. I have this habit of reading the one star reviews first. It’s as if…

The title of my column this week is a quote by Aristotle.
