Choose to serve

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

Today is Veteran’s Day in the USA. As I was reading one of the many articles written about this important day, I noticed this quote:

“Veterans Day is about everybody who wore or continues to wear the uniform,” he said. “It’s a very select group of American citizens that have had the opportunity to do that.”

It’s important to honor people who have served, whether they’re still in uniform or not. It’s also important to note that most of our veterans (and all of our current armed service members) chose to serve our country in the armed forces.

This is a big deal. They could have said “no”.

And our country would be a vastly different place today, had they said no. (I’m glad they said yes.)

We all have the choice to deliver Amazing Service to our customers. We have this choice every time with every customer.  No matter what our situation is, we always have the ability to be amazing. We can always choose to serve.

How would your organization be better if everyone chose to deliver amazing service to every customer, every time?

(PS: Please take time to thank a veteran or current member of the armed services today.)

Toyota had that opportunity. But they missed their moment. Big time.

Peachtree knows that customer service is cool

Customer service is the new marketing because now companies can no longer control what people are saying about them. Everyday, customers and prospects are ranting and raving about your company on social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Companies that don’t get customer service and don’t react to what customers are talking about are doomed to fail.

Focus on customer service in 2010 (finally?)

This may be it. This may be the year that it finally happens. 2010 may just be the year that companies start to focus on their customers and serving them well.

Now, I am cautiously optimistic about this focus on customer service, but let me tell you why I feel this way.

1. Brands are using a focus on customers as a competitive differentiator in their advertisements.
