Know your purpose

Here is your Daily Dose of Amazing Service:

Know your purpose

And here are some additional thoughts on this topic…

I heard a segment on our local radio recently about more soldiers getting deployed overseas.  They interviewed parents and spouses and soldiers themselves. These situations are always hard but when they happen around the holidays they’re even more difficult.

One soldier captured the situation well.

He said they are well trained and well equipped to go wherever they need to and succeed. Even more important, he said, when they do succeed, life will be better for a lot of people. You could hear it in his voice. This drove him.

For this soldier it’s  not about wanting to go into a difficult situation. Ans it’s not about NOT wanting to go.  It’s about doing his job and doing it well. He knows when he does that others will benefit.

So he gives it his all.

What if every employee on your team had this attitude? How would your organization look and feel if everyone was as motivated as this soldier?  How might this affect your customer loyalty?

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.
