The Reality of Customer Service

The Lousy, the Satisfied, the Memorable

Direct travel spending on transportation, lodging, and recreation by visitors to Oregon topped $8 Billion in 2007. Where else do visitor's spend their money in your community? Dry cleaning, fuel,  groceries, a morning latte are not related to direct travel spending.  

How much of that spending is your business getting?

Visitors to your community include commuters, family or friends of local residents, as well as out-of-town recreational or business travelers. Good customer service provided by your business helps to secure and retain that visitor or your "wallet share".

Are you building loyal customers or just satisfied ones?

It’s not just about good customer service it's all about GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Businesses will spend thousands of dollars advertizing and no time or energy on training to assure customers return again and again.
 
Companies who offer "100% Customer Satisfaction" are offering average service.  The satisfied customer may refer someone who asks about your business, the loyal customer tells everyone they talk too whether they ask or not.  Measured by this standard how is your enterprise doing?

 
"Customer Service Training, it's only as good as the trainer"

What our Customer's have to say

 “Wow” What a fantastic customer training seminar!  Sue Price’s presentation for the SOVA customer service training was one of the finest things we could do for our team.  Our team not only left the seminar with a better understanding of our customers but they also left the seminar with an added enthusiasm for outstanding customer service.  I would guarantee that any company in the valley would benefit from this seminar.
