Customer Service
Are your customers lasting? . . . or leaving?
We all talk a lot about customer service; we know it is the most important element of creating a successful, thriving business. Your reputation is based on your service quality, yet often times we are just paying lip service. Knowing it and actually doing something to improve it are two different things. You know keeping current customers is cheaper than recruiting new customers.
- Do you know that word of mouth is the best way to build your business?
- That people form a first impression within seven seconds?
- That your customers don’t care what you know, until they know you care?
- That customers are willing to drive further and pay more for better customer service?
But, where to start? We will help you!
Need Change? By Jean Steel

In Need Change? Customer Service Tips to Grow from Good to Great, Steel digs deep into her 25 years as a wellness expert, writer, teacher, and speaker to create the ultimate “go-to” handbook for customer service.
In 31 short and hilariously illustrated chapters, you’ll meet The Illogical, The Difficult, The Out-of-Control, and The Internal Customer. You’ll practice the lost art of listening and explore the quiet-but-potentially-ruinous world of nonverbal communication. And you’ll learn about the undeniable power of Social Media in this daunting digital age.

Jeanette Shea, Jeanette Shea & Associates, ArizonaAs a meeting planner, Jean and Jenny are some of my most favorite people to work with. Jean is someone I could schedule to be onstage during that afternoon lull and within minutes, the audience would come back to life. Laughter would be filling the room and afterwards, Jean and her message would be the buzz of the conference. Our post-conference surveys are always glowing with feedback about how much they enjoyed Jean.
