Customer service is crucial in my business, especially in these challenging economic times. I need one resource for all my people to follow that will serve as the foundation for the environment that will keep us focused on producing the kind of service that is crucial for our survival, and the Cult of the Customer is it. Hyken uses the power of story and metaphor to reveal and teach five distinct cultural phases (from "uncertainty" to "Amazement") to his readers. Woven into each lesson are practical, easy-to-follow ideas and strategies for winning customers for life. This book will become the backbone of our service philosphy.
