Book Description

1 April 2010
In a tight market, your most powerful growth engine and your best protection from competitive inroads is this: put every thing you can into cultivating true customer loyalty. Loyal customers are less sensitive to price competition, more forgiving of small glitches and ultimately, become “walking billboards” who will happily promote your brand.

In Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit, insiders Leonardo Inghilleri and Micah Solomon reveal the secrets of providing online and offline customer service so superior it nearly guarantees loyalty. Their anticipatory customer service approach was first developed at The Ritz-Carlton as well as at Solomon’s company Oasis and has since proven itself in countless companies around the globe from luxury giant BVLGARI to value-sensitive auto parts leader Carquest and everywhere in between. Now, readers can take the techniques that minted money for these brands and apply them directly to their own businesses. As Ken Blanchard writes, “Leonardo and Micah’s philo sophies, rules and winning examples of service excellence will make you want to implement their suggestions immediately in your own organization.”

Filled with detailed, behind-the-scenes examples, the book unlocks a new level of customer relationship that leaves your competitors in the dust, your customers coming back day after day and your bottom line looking better than it ever has before.

4.0 out of 5 stars easy, practical and fast 5 Feb 2011
Format:Hardcover
I must admit that at first I could not really find my way in the fast written book: sometimes a jungle of (strong!) one-liners, a lot of action, a lot of examples. And I found it a bit too hotel-business (which is a particular form of service: physical). Chapters sometimes not too logically organized. Fast. And the focus is on service, but the profit part is just not strong.
But the book was too sticky to let be, and I continued and completed the book. Very inspiring, very optimistic, solution-driven. And sometimes really sharp formulated practices, tangibly treating issues which in the first place are not easy to grasp rationally.
For me a book which sometimes the just too-American approach annoyed me, but lead to inspiration and brought me further. On the service part

5.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch customer service manual 4 Oct 2010
By Rolf Dobelli TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
What Apple is to innovation and Rolex is to quality Ritz-Carlton is to service. Consider the luxury hotel chain's famous $2,000 customer-satisfaction pledge. This remarkable program, now in place for decades, allows any Ritz-Carlton employee, regardless of rank, to decide alone to spend up to $2,000 to resolve any customer problem. To date, no Ritz-Carlton employee has felt it necessary to spend the full amount on behalf of a customer, but many take creative action to address problems promptly. This policy sends a powerful signal to Ritz-Carlton clients and employees about how much the company values quality and service. In their book, service experts Micah Solomon and Leonardo Inghilleri teach you how to plan and implement an exceptional service program. getAbstract cheers this nicely written book. It is a pleasure to read and it explains exceptional service clearly.
