“Secret Service” – Providing Unforgettable Customer Service
I am a big believer in reading books to help me continue to learn and grow. One of my favorite books early on was the E-Myth Revisited by Micheal Gerber that helped me “work on my business” more instead of “in my business” to have a plan for business growth and consistency of service.
Beyond cutting costs and improving efficiencies in my business this year I read several books on Customer Service. Several books by author John DiJulius have really made me stop and question how I am “working on my business”. He has two books, Secret Service (which is really user friendly) and another follow up book that is more detailed called “What’s the Secret?”.
I love life – and I love growing my business. Sometimes growing a business can help you see life a bit differently. I have been working on making my business more automated and efficient to make it easier for employees to deliver great service. However, DiJulius provides many examples of things that I have overlooked. This also made me think of other aspects of my life where I may have overlooked something?
Property Management is a service business so I highly recommend you read these two additional books after reading my program of course!
. First E-Myth Revisited to help you see how to plan growing your business and next a book from DiJulius to put in systems and training aides to help deliver consistent unforgettable customer serivice. Treat yourself to these gifts for the holidays! Happy Reading & Happy Holidays!
