This month's featured book: 'Quality Service, Competitive Business: Setting the Standard in Customer Service'. By Howard Kendall
Reviewed by Tessa Troubridge, Managing Director, SDI |
Looking for practical advice based on common situations? This book details experience drawn not just from Howard's vast experience, but also from that of leading gurus like Jan Carlzon, Ken Blanchard and Michael O'Leary.
I've had the opportunity to read an advance copy of Howard's first book which combines his in-depth research of customer service in every market sector. He delivers an authoritative book that recognises both the increasing role of technology (and don't we know it!) in businesses today and the potential benefits and dangers this brings to customer service. Alongside this, he gives plenty of guidance on how to ‘tune up' your organisation so it is equipped to deal with the demanding customers of today. It's refreshing that Howard challenges our perception that great service is always needed to keep customers loyal - not always it seems!
Whether you're a small, medium, or large business, or private or public sector the book will provide useful material for setting up a great culture of service and freshening up your training and awareness programme.
