4.0 out of 5 stars Clear as clear can be, April 10, 2003
This review is from: The Customer Care and Contact Center Handbook (Hardcover)
Thisi s the first review I've written. I've got a stack of business books. Most are filled with common sense advice, advice I really do not need and a waste of my [money]. BUT, The author of this book provides clear examples, examples that can be used right away, advice worth buying the book for. I am impressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Support disipline, May 11, 2004
This review is from: The Customer Care and Contact Center Handbook (Hardcover)
As a senior exec in R&D I have often been frustrated with the lack of discipline in every support services division I have worked with. Mr. Schulz has provided the foundation, best-practices and execution triggers for support services in one book. I highly recommend this book and have procured additional copies for our international sites. The support-services playing field has hereby been leveled.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but the author can be cute, May 7, 2004
This review is from: The Customer Care and Contact Center Handbook (Hardcover)
Not your typical business book. There are many great ideas and a number of best-practices are presented and discussed. On the downside the author should curb his flippant comments and stick to the business at hand.
