Inside Customer Service
MARCH 10, 2022
Last December, I visited three bicycle shops to search for a new bike. I wanted a hybrid bike that was easy to maintain and fun to ride. The employee at the first shop immediately focused what they had in stock, which wasn't much. He didn't ask any questions and barely answered mine. The employee at the second bike shop answered my questions, but didn't go deeper to truly understand my needs.

I’ve been asked many times how to get the C-suite to invest in customer service. There are plenty of good answers. My go-to response has always been, “Show them the numbers.” The C-suite loves numbers. Prove that spending $100 will make the company $200, and you just may capture the attention of a decision-maker in the C-suite. . Now there is a new way to approach leadership with an idea, which is to write a Fictional Press Release. .
