  "Plaques? We Don't Need No Stinking Plaques!"


Several weeks ago I ranted about how one of my coworkers got a plaque for doing a lousy job, but getting a high number of trades-see "The Superstar".

It shouldn't have bothered me so much, but it did. Well, today I did much better than he did. I had three customers go out of their way to tell me what a great job I did and how they were so thankful I helped them.

The first customer said, "Thanks alot AC, I really mean it. This was the first time I had problems with a trade, and you knew exactly what to do, and were ready to help me. That meant a lot to me."

The second customer said, "This is the fourth time I have called your company. I've really been impressed with how you handle yourself."

The third customer said, "I really wish you would have taken my trade, you make the trades go smooth, and you always get back to me with an update."

HA!!

In your face plaque-boy!! That's what real customer service is!

Who's your daddy!?!
Who's your daddy now!!??

(at this point the blogger stops typing for three minutes in order to do a slightly suggestive dance of victory which looks like something between "The Time Warp", a little bit of Krumping thrown in, at least as close as a redneck on the back side of 30 can get, combined with just a touch of the Tequila dance from PeeWee's big adventure.)

Ok, I feel better.

Thanks for reading,

AC

 
Comments:
lol. Now there's a dance I'd like to see.
 
Well, there ya go. The most important element of your job, THE CUSTOMER, thinks you're doing a great job. I would tell you to go tell management to "suck it," but... I think you've done that already. :)

Congrats on the compliments again.
 
Also... you can't call it a dance unless you're throwing in a little bit of "The Carlton" with it. :P *cues Tom Jones music*
 
Remington,
I feel your pain. Their idea of providing quality customer service is based on the idea that customers will bend to their policies and their ideas. Real customer service takes into account that every client is different. Every call wont fit the script and every customer will not say what you want them to say.

Mamasita,
I tried to do a little James Brown split to really mix it up, but I think I pulled something....
