Read this book before your competitors do! And then give it to all your managers to read. Every chapter is loaded with enough common sense and good ideas to pay you back 1,000 times. -- Todd Lapidus, President, Customer Contact Corporation

Ron Kaufman gets my vote as the best of the best Customer Service writer, thinker and presenter in the world today. -- Mark Victor Hansen, Co-author best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul

Ron Kaufman writes like he teaches. Up Your Service! is fast-paced, upbeat and action-oriented for easy translation from concepts to useful application. It is sprinkled with relevant examples of service we encounter in our everyday lives with firms we know some only too well!

This book contains a generous dose of Rons humorous yet impactful approach. Like attending one of Rons presentations, it makes you want to get up immediately and do something about improving the service level you and your company provide.

Knowing Ron, he is not going to be satisfied if you only read his book. Hell want to see you out there actually Upping Your Service! -- Sim Kay Wee, Senior Vice President, Europe, Singapore Airlines

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, Effective & Creative, June 22, 2000

By 

Koo Hang Boon (Mr.) - AwesomeLife.Com (Malaysia And Singapore) - See all my reviews

This review is from: UP Your Service! (Paperback)

Ron is one of the best Customer Service expert and guru in the Asia Pacific region, and perhaps the world. When I knew his book was coming out, I was wondering whether it will be as good or even better. I waited with much anticipation :)

When I bought the book, even before I read it, I was already very impressed with the beautiful and striking design of the cover. Next, when I started reading, I was very relieved and delighted that Ron has managed to maintain his superb world-class quality in his writing as well. It took me only 2 days to finish reading the whole book, and guess what? I normally use a highlighter to highlight the important points in any book I read, and my copy of "UP Your Service" was almost completedly covered with highlights. Almost every point mentioned is so relevant and real. Apart from telling us what's wrong with most companies' customer service, Ron also tell us in very clear terms, what needs to be done to rectify them.

It would not be an over-statement to say that this is one of the best book on "Customer Service" in the world. Read it yourself and you will see what I mean.

Keep up the good work, Ron. *cheers*
