In the Era of COVID -19
Customer Service has Vanished

Hi [firstname|there],

With most firms in the world were shut down because of governments worldwide I would think they have a desperate need for sales and revenue. This is not a time to deliver awful customer service.

In the last few weeks I have experienced some of the worst customer service by large and small firms in the US, and it's shocking! I wrote about my experiences in my latest blog article. As an experiment, on your next visit to your local retailer or business, how are employees treating you? Are they distant, helpful, or do they even look in your general direction? I'm curious to hear from your experiences. 

Wishing you and your close ones all the best during these hard times.

The Current State of Minneapolis

Most people in the world have seen the murder of George Floyd a black man by a white police officer putting his knee to his neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds. A very sad day for Minneapolis. For the last week, Minneapolis St Paul has been the scene of violence and riots. Minneapolis pays out about $20 million annually in lawsuit settlements. A year ago they killed a white woman who had called the police because she heard a noise in the alley behind her house. I think the police across the world do not understand the power of awesome customer service. If everyone was treated with respect and the police understand how to handle irate customers and difficult situations there would be fewer problems like George Floyd.

All organizations have rotten apples.Coaching for Success teaches managers how to motivate their employees and 25% is on why and how you have to terminate non-performing players. It will cost the City of Minneapolis $50 million dollars for not practicing good management skills in the police department. Every year you hear about stupid stuff people do because management was unwilling to terminate poor performing employees. Handling Irate Customers is critical so the police use calming words instead of guns when problems occur.  At Expedia, I did not have to raise my voice for the employee to hang up. Very few people know how to handle an Irate Customer.
