They have collaborated to share 30 years of customer service learning, to benefit consumers and business leaders alike.
A single incident in 1977 sparked their passion for studying customer service. They began keeping notes they had with companies of all sizes - restaurants, home repair, auto manufacturers, furniture stores, cell phone providers, health care providers and even non-profit organizations. In early October 2016, they canceled and moved two Wells Fargo accounts because as consumers, we can't reward bad behavior. In this case, it was a scam (Elizabeth Warren quote) and certainly fraud, using a legal definition.
Over a 30+ year period, they maintained detailed notes of interactions including correspondence to and from companies. This is the first long-term longitudinal study of customer service.
They studied the root causes leading to poor and unacceptable service. From this extensive research, they created a new company, The CareGiver Partnership, a national direct to consumer retailer of home health care products and supplies which they sold in December 2014.
All their key learning went into providing a new type of service they coined "Personalized Attention - 1950's style" that they introduced into their business - The CareGiver Partnership.view less
