Product Description

Organistaions that excel at service Buzz. Their people are switched on and they make it happen for customers. It is down to all the little things they get right. They focus on what counts and in the world of commerce as well as in public service there is only one person that counts, and that is the customer. "Get the First Five Seconds right"; The original Tom Peters-style fashion for customer service evolved into CRM (customer relations management) and as companies struggled to reduce costs, improve efficiency and enhance profits they allowed high-technology and computers to take over many of the traditional roles exercised by empowered and customer-friendly front-line people.

The Buzz 28 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
A practical and 'common sense' approach to help service providers their focus on Service Excellence. This book is excellent value as David Freemantle provides an insight to best practice in an easy to read and 'fun' format. This is an excellent prompt for those seeking to improve their focus on customer interactions. Couldn't put it down.

Successful teams Buzz 15 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Following on from his international success as the author of 12 books on leadership, motivation and customer service Dr. David Freemantle brings us an invaluable 'How To' book for both Managers and front line staff alike.Expanding on his 'Theory of Inches', so called because he advocates it is the essential delivery of the little things that make a huge difference in service excellence.50 of those secrets sre set out in a deliberate, easy to read, fun format.
Successful teams buzz and this is demonstrated vividly with lots of well observed case studies.
Whilst one recommendation is to read and implement these little things over a 10 week period, I found myself unable to put The Buzz' down and eager to read the accompanying book 'The Biz'.I believe 'The Buzz' should be on the 'must read' list for every customer service professional.
