Book Description

August 2001
Good Service is Good Business is a clear, simple, common-sense approach to making your company a service leader. Published originally in Australia, this new international edition is filled with simple-to-implement ideas that you can put into practice right away to boost your profits and your reputation.

Service is a seven-letter word. These are DeVrye's seven simple strategies for success:

Self-esteem: Happy employees yield happy customers.

Exceed expectations: Promise good; deliver great.

Recover: 96% of dissatisfied customers never complain--they just take their business elsewhere.

Vision: Appreciate the long-term value of our customers.

Improve: Focus on the little things that mean a lot.

Care: It costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one.

Empowerment: 70% of complaining customers will buy from you again if you resolve the problem in their favor.

Review

'A superbly written common sense approach to quality service applicable to every person in the organization' -- Dr Barry Ritchie CEO Monash Mt Eliza Business School

'An easy to read guide about how to build better service-orientated organizations' -- Barry Murphy Chairman Australian Quality Council

'Light hearted but straight to the point' -- David Powell CEO of 3M Australia

An easy to read guide about how to build better service-orientated organisations. -- Barry Murphy Chairman Australian Quality Council --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Author

Having given presentations on service, participants would come up after and say 'You oughta write a book...just write like you speak' So, that's what I've tried to do. I'm still amazed that it became a #1 best seller in Australia and that the contents are applicable internationally as I've discovered from feedback from presentations on 5 continents. It's about turning common sense into common practice and I hope you find it useful. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
