Publisher Description
Don Gallegos is a man on a mission - a mission to wipe out poor customer service. And he thinks most people don't even know when the service they receive is bad.
In his book, "Win the Customer, Not the Argument," Gallegos tells true stories about customer service that illustrate his basic premise, "The customer is not always right... but she is always your customer."
Gallegos spent 30 years developing his philosophy of customer service while working with King Soopers Supermarkets in the Denver, Colorado area (now a division of Kroger). As President of King Soopers, Gallegos instituted his revolutionary ideas about customer service: teaching employees how to go the extra mile to give the customer what she wanted, even if it meant bending the rules a bit. According to Don, "Not everyone wants special treatment, so, for the few that do, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?"
This book details hundreds of ideas to help your business become more customer service-driven, such as:
Make the policy manual one page long
Encourage customer complaints
Model yourself after the best companies
Give your front-line employees authority to solve the customer's problem
Recognize that union employees are your employees first and foremost
Great customer service comes from the top
With its engaging, chatty style, "Win the Customer, Not the Argument" will win you over. You'll learn what good customer service really is, and how your company can excel.
Customer Reviews
Exceptional ideas for how to treat customers and employees
My company hired the author to come speak to us and I was impressed that he didn't re-hash ideas that we all know or others that don't work. Instead he gave ideas on how to break the mold and stand out for exceptional customer and employee service. He shared ideas that few businesses ever do but all customers want, and backed them up with real experiences where they worked. All levels of the company have to be on board, and when they are you'll have happy loyal employees enabled and excited to serve customers, and then you'll gain loyal customers for life. Our company follows this book and is having success as a result.
