In an age, where every Tom, Dick & Harry are saying that their companies are offering their customers good service, I’m surprised to see customers with so many scars relating to previous experiences.

I don’t need to speculate on what other companies are or aren’t doing with regards to customer service; all I know is that there’s still large amounts of customers that have had exclusively bad experiences with other companies in the past and by giving them a good experience, you are being their breath of fresh air.

Take the chance, stop focusing on other aspects of growing your business and just use customer service as a competitive advantage.
