Excellent customer service is so much more than "smile training" or implementing useful technology. It is understanding what is important to your customer and designing service to exceed those expectations. Successful service delivery is an outcome of systems thinking and no one does it better than Disney. With a stronger understanding of customer needs and defined service standards, service professionals will feel more comfortable delivering excellent service with the right tools and clear service expectations. Happy employees create happy customers and the entire organization benefits.
