The Hidden Secrets of Amazon's Success Everyone Should Practice
FEBRUARY 2021 

Amazon just released its 2020 annual sales. I follow Amazon everyday. Jeff Bezos is stepping down to become executive chairman and promoting Andy Jassy to CEO. Andy was CEO of Amazon's cloud business (AWS). Sales with AWW were $45.4 billion in 2020  with an operating net income of $13.5 billion. This is business to business sales.

In humor but true, I always say most people do not copy Amazon because they do not want to have a sales increase of $105.6 billion, a stock increase of 76% and have a personal net worth of $183.8 billion. Too much money and too much work for most people.

Let's look at the results and why I believe Amazon is the most customer driven firm in the world.

The 2nd Most Customer-Driven CEO in the World Vernon Hill

Click here to watch The Vernon & Shirley Hill Journey – their story of creating Fans over the last 47 years.

I have worked with Vernon Hill for over 18 years now. Vernon has always shared the financial results with me for the 3 banks he has been CEO of (Commerce Bank, Metro Bank and Republic Bank) Vernon and his wife Shirley are more committed to WOW customer service than any banker in the world. I would rate him #2 behind Jeff Bezos.  I have featured Vernon in my last book Relentless, Achieving Excellence Through Customer Service and he gave me generous forewards and endorsements for my last 4 books.  If you wanted to follow a service leader this couple is the best in the world.


Relentless - John Tschohl's New Book

Relentless is a must read. Very few firms in the world are relentless. They focus on customer service for a few months or years. It is like breathing. You cannot stop.

Being “Relentless” is part of culture in all elite, exceptional organizations. “Relentless” means that you can never give up: you’ve got to constantly focus on customer service. “Relentless” has to be a passion. “Relentless” has to be a lifetime commitment.

Relentless is my 8th book. It can be purchased today on our website. The hardcover book is $27.00. You can also order it now on Amazon

If you want to order autographed copies send John Tschohl an email john@servicequality.com Shipping in the US will be free with media mail.


Why Most Consider Training Your Entire Workforce a Waste of Money and Too Expensive

The Problem: Customer service training does not work. It is too expensive when you look at all costs including labor time, travel expenses, professional facilitation fees, and materials. It is too hard to implement with so many employees and locations and coupled with a high employee turnover rate.
