Format: Paperback
I found this book to be more than I expected. The author says this is the most boring book on customer service but the content and examples are short and too the point. I appreciate the way the customer service techniques are shown with explanations as well as referenced in the specific examples. One of my concerns was that the author would try to give quotes on what to say in any situation. That did not happen. Instead the author gave the reader tools to use and examples of how those tools can be used. Very Helpful. ... show more

The Best Book For Customer Service
Format: Paperback
Having aspergers, I can sometimes be at a loss of words when I am in a meeting or having a conversation with a person who I need to get buy in and trust from. This book provided me with the exact phrases and wording that I needed to use for sticky situations or situations that I had to talk with angry clients in a calm manner. When clients are angry or you want to encourage buy in... the words that you use matter. Even one word said at an inappropriate time can cause the problem to escalate to a dangerous level for all parties. From the average phone call of talking to people about orders or products all the way to talking with angry clients or clients that feel like they are being cheated from your company...this is your go to book. ... show more

Great book. Not enough on digital age
Format: Paperback
This book is good but I dont have much use of it since it hardly discusses emails which is the bulk of customer service communication today emails and chat etc.

Buy this is you need help getting a better review!
Format: Kindle
This actually helped me! I was getting below average on my reviews for my customer service. I practiced and studied this book. Took it with me to work. Put into use what it suggested. Now it's second nature. Last year I got avg on customer service and this year I got Exceeds Expectations!!!! I even asked if that was a mistake and was told no you've dramatically improved especially with difficult situations!!! ... show more

Great Reference Book In Hospitality Industry
Format: Paperback
As a Hotel GM, I reference this book regularly to train and guide my employees when dealing with difficult guests. Not a book one would read cover to cover, but a reference to find practical key phrases and helpful words to use in customer service challenges.

A common sense, basic psychology book
Format: Paperback
This book is basically repetitive throughout. The gist of it is empathize and apologize, then do what you can to best resolve the customer issues. Not a brilliant book by any means. I also bought customer service 101. It has the same basic info too, but I enjoyed it better, because it was written well and easier to follow. I guess in the perfect phrases book, I was expecting something more along the lines of what to say to a jerk who gets mad because you took a break, or what to say to someone who insults you, or calls you babe, or lets their child run amok. I thought it would have answers to difficult situations. I guess I expect a book with all the answers to life's problems. Looking back I guess I am asking way too much. What can I say...I am a woman and I expect a lot. ... show more
