The Bad: ChapStick

The Ugly: Seven News

and 2000 had commented.”

Peter Shankman
“Customer service is no longer about telling people
how great you are. It’s about producing amazing
moments in time, and letting those moments become
the focal point of how amazing you are, told not by
you, but by the customer who you thrilled.”
