  • The Best Book For Customer Service
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

  • Buy this is you need help getting a better review!
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

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

  • Great Reference Book In Hospitality Industry
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.

  • Useful read
I gave it to my Guest Services Manager and she is using it to train her staff at the Hotel to know how to handle tough situations. Very well written to where you can pick the scenarios that match your situation and just learn the right approach.
