Does Your Company Have a Gold Standard of Service?

In all business categories, the defining decision a customer or client makes in determining whether to purchase from you or your competition comes down to one single element: service – the overall experience and delight of dealing with your company.

How you structure your customer service experience is a critical part of your marketing plan, but few companies give it the time and training it deserves, preferring to “wing it,” leaving it as an intangible line item.

Does your company have a gold standard benchmark of service to live up to? If not, then pick your own. Choose an experience from a company that really amazed you … an experience that turned you into one of their brand ambassadors.
