How to Survive Customer Service

In this Podcast I introduce my philosophy on customer service, explain how it differs from other approaches and material on the subject, what gaps it fills in existing material and how other efforts to improve customer service will fail without these principles applied. If you did a survey of people working in the customer service industry asking them if they should always be nice to customers, what do you think the results would be? It is safe to say it would be almost 100%, yes, they should always be nice to customers. This is not a mystery. They all know this. Then, why do we experience rude, discourteous, condescending, unhelpful and many other negative types of customer service? There is a "why", and it is not because the customer service rep doesn't know that he/she should always be nice to customers. It isn't because he or she hasn't heard an inspiring story about customer service that impressed some speaker and wows audiences. Wrong "why". Find out what the real reason is in this podcast.
