QUOTES
Shep: "Customer service is not a department, it's a philosophy. It's part of everybody's job, whether it be an internal customer or external. But for a salesperson, the salesperson's job is to build a relationship, to create an experience that makes the customer say ‘Hey, I want to do business with you’.”
Shep: "This is what we're looking for—service sensitivity or service awareness. We want people to recognize the opportunities they have to create that positive experience."
Shep: "We need to know our material, our sales pitch if you will, so well that we can go off-script when the customer decides to ask a question that maybe no other customer has ever asked before or in a way that allows us to really get a little bit more information and insight from the customer so that we can do a better job of refining the rest of that pitch to meet their needs."
