This is a book written by a Customer Service Representative FOR Customer Service Representatives "The Death of Customer Service" is a work of fiction based on my personal experience working in multiple call centers. This book starts as a satirical take on where I believe Customer Service is headed as an industry. Then as the story goes on, it becomes less grounded as it moves further from comedy and into more of a Science-Fiction story. This is not a traditional story by any means, but I assure you, there is no story like it. A Customer Service Department with no products and a lot of angry customers, a mad scientist in a dark laboratory, a pharmacy for recreational use, a recording studio for live hold music, a gun range in the basement, and a dive bar on the 3rd floor. All under one company, in one call center. Dexter Kirk has gone from call center to call center, fired from every job he's ever had and knowing no vacation except for the two weeks of severance pay between each one. Until the day he is hired by Plaetto Pier, a mysterious company in Tempe, Arizona. Follow Dexter's experiences as he moves from department to department, each one more absurd than the last. Find out what role this 27 year old, jaded Customer Service Representative could possibly play at such a strange company. Find out how far one company can push an entire industry, in "The Death of Customer Service."

Download or read book The Satisfied Customer written by Claes Fornell and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-11-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When faced with the choice between cutting costs or improving customer service, most companies focus on tangible assets. But in our service economy, the most important asset is intangible: a company's relationship with its customers. The Satisfied Customer is a blueprint for understanding this fact of modern business and reveals the unheralded value of customer satisfaction. Drawing on the results of a massive survey of American consumer satisfaction and including examples from companies like Home Depot and UPS, Fornell presents some surprising conclusions about outreach strategy (exceeding a customer's expectations is risky, and increasing customer complaints can actually be a good thing). He also explains how to quantify and increase the value of a firm's customer relationships--what he calls the Customer Asset.
