Service Excellence is everyone’s job…every call, every contact, every customer…every time.Service excellence is not ironic, accidental or magical…it’s a work culture where everyone understands that customers are not dependent on you, you are dependent on them…you are not doing them a favor by serving them, they are doing you the favor by giving you the opportunity to do so.
