Positively Outrageous Service
Develop an Insurmountable Advantage over your Competitors! Definition: POS is random and unexpected; out of proportion to the circumstance; invites the customer to play; and creates compelling, positive word-of-mouth.
MicroBranding
A highly-focused personal or local brand built with clever public relations, innovative targeted marketing and strategic networking. MicroBrands are efficient, local, and often rely on individual personality.
Why Service Stinks
Why is service so bad…and getting worse?
Who is responsible and exactly what needs to be done to make it better? Those are the questions we set out to answer — and we did! We were scientific. We used the latest psychological instruments to survey bosses and servicepersons of all stripes.
We were methodical. We included nearly 10,000 very vocal consumers in our research, over a dozen high-profile companies participated, and we used a mountain of back-up data to document our findings.
What did we discover?
The average boss can’t identify great servicepersons — before or after the interview! We have proof! And we can fix the problem! It’s easy once you know how!
