Review-A-Day "While very little in the book is meant to be taken seriously, it is clever enough to qualify as more than just an assemblage of one-liners. Whether you agree with her observations or not, Ephron's perspective as an admittedly high-maintenance, New York-dwelling, successful screenwriter will keep you entertained.
The Customer-Centric Approach In September 2003 Cisco Systems and the Center for Digital Strategies at the Tuck School of Business held the fifth Thought Leadership Summit on Digital Strategies at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.

RSS 2.0 Feed Customer service at Starbucks Posted by Michael Cage on Wednesday, October 11, 2006 Over a year ago I posted about an experience at one of my local Starbucks. I had my days mixed up and pulled up an hour before they opened with a serious caffeine fix. You can read all about it here , but I'll give you the nutshell version: As I was leaving a barista who was getting the store ready to open came out to get me, asked me if I wanted a drink, invited me in and took care of me. He didn't have to do it, but he did, and I think it is an amazing testament to the hiring practices of Starbucks that they sort for people who "get" what a great customer experience is all about. From the original post : Managers at Starbucks put tremendous attention into hiring good "people people." People who enjoy interacting with and pleasing others. Their hiring and training process is designed ... systematically ... to produce events like the one I described. It isn't an accident. It isn't left to chance.

Main Thoughts on customer-led marketing by Mark Hurst October 17, 2006 The New York Times last week became the latest periodical to publish an enthusiastic piece about the new trend of customer-led marketing. This trend, so the thinking goes, allows customers to "own" a brand by creating their own uses and extensions of it.

13th February 2008 Some thoughts on designing customer interactions for a quality experience posted by jtaylor in Business Rules , Customer Experience , Data Mining , Decision Management , Predictive Analytics | My friend Bob Glushko and Lindsay Tabas wrote an interesting paper last year that Bob pointed out to me earlier this month - Bridging the “Front Stage†and “Back Stage†in Service System Design . I liked the paper as it raised some interesting issues about customer interactions, in particular whether interaction design or outcomes is the most important factor in determining a customer’s satisfaction after the interaction.
My original post has been misrepresented by the way. I had perfectly good DSL service through Earthlink, but they drove me nuts with billing issues and the like. My wife decided to switch the Qwest while I was away and spoke with a gentleman on the phone who assured her that she wouldn't need a new modem. Of course, she did. We got one, we got everything running just fine. But the speed has been much slower than with Earthlink from the very beginning. We can no longer watch video online without allowing the video to load completely first, for instance. Then, around the beginning of the year, and as was said, it seemed to coincide with Prescott getting a lot of weather and precipitation, our connection grinded to a halt. Almost nonexistent. 90-100 K. It's seems to have been implied that I am picking on the 1-800 customer service folks at Qwest. I am not. I spent multiple hours on the phone with very pleasant people ...

I think the guts of this post is probably book fodder for somebody, since I couldn't find a single reference to the beatitudes as a model for customer service. Actually, the really interesting book would be the whole Sermon on the Mount as a model for customer service.

Product Description From Publishers Weekly [Signature]Reviewed by Toni Bentley The honest truth is that it's sad to be over sixty," concludes Nora Ephron in her sparkling new book about aging. With 15 essays in 160 pages, this collection is short, a thoughtful concession to pre- and post-menopausal women (who else is there?)
Nora Ephron is witty, clever and has her finger on the pulse of American women everywhere in her delightful book, I Feel Bad About My Neck: and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. My only complaint is that at 137 pages (and small pages at that), it's a rather lightweight book.

As customers and consumers become more and more demanding, hostile and belligerent in the market place it becomes more and more difficult to please them. Nevertheless, for the small business owners and companies that can satisfy them many a fortune awaits.
