Customer Service 101

Creating the right customer service image.

“Service” simply means ”work done for another.“

We transition from customer to service provider numerous times every day.  That’s a great chance to learn about how you want to provide service to your customers (internal and external).  Ask yourself what you like/don’t like about some of your service providers’ qualities.  Doing this will help you define how you provide service to others.
