Service Culture Plan

Service Quality Institute is the only firm in the world that has enough customer service training programs where you can introduce something fresh and new every 4 months for more than 4 years. One-shot programs are helpful but what are you using to maintain the momentum? If you want to create a culture of great service you need a sustained process. It is dangerous to keep putting adults through the same program. Your biggest expense is labor costs. When the listening switch is turned off you waste all your money.
