Delight Your Customers

7 Simple Ways to Raise Your Customer Service from Ordinary to Extraordinary

By: Steve Curtin

Narrated by: Sean Pratt

Great customer service is rare. In fact, one survey found that while 80 percent of companies described themselves as delivering “superior” service, consumers estimated the number at a mere 8 percent. The problem, according to service expert Steve Curtin, is actually quite simple. When asked what their work entails, most employees list the duties and tasks associated with their position. Very few refer to the true essence of their job, which should be their highest priority - to create delighted customers who will be less price sensitive, have higher repurchase rates, and enthusiastically recommend the company or brand to others. Without this customer focus, all that exists is a transaction - and transactional service does not make a lasting positive impression or inspire loyalty.

Delight Your Customers reveals three truths common to all exceptional customer service experiences and presents seven behaviors that, when demonstrated by employees, distinguish extraordinary customer service from the ordinary transactional customer service to which consumers have become accustomed. With real-world stories and more than 200 examples from a variety of industries, this audiobook is a resource that will help listeners everywhere take their customer service from ordinary to extraordinary!

Not dense, but useful

This little book does not have a lot of ideas in it, but some where illuminating, thus a keeper. Also, it’s not full of stories and storytelling, and this is a ++
