5.0 out of 5 stars The Modern-Day Service Professional, January 25, 2001
This review is from: The Modern-Day Service Professional : Succeeding in the Hospitality Industry (Paperback)
Your book would have been useful in my earlier years while I was working in the service industry. The content is useful to me now as a public servant, because everybody's job depends on "customers" and customer service. The brevity appeals tome because who has time to power through a 200+ page book?
