"Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit" is a manual for winning customer loyalty that actually inspires."-- Daniel H. Pink, author of "A Whole New Mind."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Customer service experts Leonardo Inghilleri and Micah Solomon's 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. Their experience shows that the most powerful growth engine in a tight market--and best protection from competitive inroads--is to put everything you can into cultivating true customer loyalty. Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit takes the techniques that minted money for these brands and reveals how you can apply them to your own business to provide the kind of exceptional service that nearly guarantees loyalty. Soon, you'll be reaping the benefits of loyal customers who are less sensitive to price competition, more forgiving of small glitches, and, ultimately, who are "walking billboards" happily promoting your brand. Filled with detailed, behind-the-scenes examples, this award-winning 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Learn the Loyalty-Building Secrets of Distinguished--and Exceptionally Successful--Service Companies</b> </p> </p> "<i>Exceptional Service, Exceptional Profit</i> is a book after my own heart.
