Quality Customer Service Starts Inside Your Business $20.98 Bob Bacza has dealt with customers at every level and under countless circumstances. Experience has proven that in order to provide quality customer service, you need to understand that customers are people and treat them as such. What you say, how you say it, and to whom you say it are key factors of quality customer service. If you treat a customer (external or internal) as a number or a means to an end, you will quickly lose credibility with that customer. When you lose credibility, you have lost the customer?s confidence in you and your company. |

Magnetic Service $13.48 Cultivating and keeping customers long-term should be a primary goal of any company, but binding customers to a brand can be challenging at best. This is where "magnetic service" comes in. In this inspiring book, authors Chip and Bilijack Bell show how any business can create a cult-like following of customers who don't just forgive them when they err but actually help them correct the problem, who don't just recommend them but insist that their friends do business with them. Part 1 explains the seven magnetic service secrets -- from "Make Trust a Verb" to "Empower Customers Through Comfort." Part 2 looks at the leadership side of this strategy, emphasizing such qualities as leading naturally, nurturing discovery, and having soul. Dozens of real-life examples illustrate the seven secrets of magnetic service in action and show precisely what leaders can do to create a culture of magnetic service in any organization. |

Service Breakthroughs $3.48 What Do Citicorp, UPS and Marriott have in common? They are "breakthrough" service providers, firms that changed the rules of the game in their respective industries by consistently meeting or exceeding customer needs and expectations. To find out how these companies do it, service management experts James Heskett, Earl Sasser, and Christopher Hart put the question to the chief executive officers of fifteen of America's leading service firms attending a workshop at the Harvard Business School. Breakthrough leaders, they discovered, think very differently about their businesses than do their competitors, in distinct and well-defined ways. Now, in Service Breakthroughs, based upon five years of exhaustive research in fourteen service industries, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show exactly what enables one or two companies in each industry to constantly set new standards for quality and value that force competitors to adapt or fail. At the heart of breakthrough performance, the authors contend, is a sometimes intuitive but thorough understanding of the "self-reinforcing service cycle" that replaces traditional management of "trade-offs." The "cycle" is a paradigm derived from the research results suggesting direct links between heightened customer satisfaction, increased customer retention, augmented sales and profit, improved quality and productivity, greater service value per unit of cost, improved satisfaction of service providers, increased employee retention, and further heightened customer satisfaction. With detailed examples and dramatic case studies of Mark Twain Bancshares, American Airlines, Florida Power & Light, Federal Express, McDonald's and many other companies, Heskett, Sasser, and Hart show how this self-reinforcing cycle of behavior differentiates breakthrough leaders from their "merely good" competitors. The authors describe how breakthrough managers develop counterintuitive, even contrarian, strategic service visions. These companies define their "service concept" in terms of results achieved for customers rather than services performed. They target market segments by focusing on psychographics -- how customers think and behave -- instead of demographics. And instead of viewing a service delivery system as a facility where the service is producted and sold, breakthrough firms see it as an opportunity to enhance the quality of the service. These profound differences in thought and action have brought spectacular results. For managers who wish to set the pace in their service industries, Service Breakthroughs will be essential reading. |
