Customer service is a voluntary act that demonstrates a genuine desire to satisfy, if not delight, a customer.
Three Critical Questions 1. Why is customer service so

time) How can I make this stick?
{ § Less price sensitive § Higher repurchase rates § Responsible for 80-90%
of positive word of mouth
Job function § Job descriptions § Policies § Procedures
(Mandatory/$)
Job essence § Personality § Uniqueness § Creativity (Voluntary/FREE!)
An observation:
While employees consistently execute mandatory job functions for which they are paid, they inconsistently demonstrate voluntary job essence for which there is little or no additional cost to the employer.

Relational
Job Essence/Purpose § To satisfy, if not delight,
customers § To inspire confidence § To reduce customer effort (Why?)
