The Importance of Great Customer Service in 2022 with Shep Hyken
When was the last time you saw bad customer service? Last week, or maybe last hour?
Life is a customer service proposition to me. I love to show people that they are important. I think I was made for that, and as much as I tell myself to "hold back" and to "play this one really cool, dude" - usually I can't do it. The truth is I don't lie, or try to blow smoke up your skirt, usually I see in someone something that is very admirable, which deserves to be made know.
I love "human connection" in the now. I think I heard a lot of that in my interview with customer service guru Shep Hyken. I also learned a ton of things about trust and getting people to come back for what you are offering. Shep is pretty damn awesome, but I told myself to "play this one really cool." -Paul
