Would you like sugar with that? How attention to detail impresses
Attention to detail and personalising your customers experience can be a very positive thing. I’ll give you a little story of what happened in our office on Friday that impressed me and the client. A client came in for a meeting. She had been in before. Instead of offering her a “Coffee, tea or cold […]
On doing things differently – for a good reason
I had someone email me and ask why I’m only keeping the Mystery Shopper document on the web for 3 days. “What possible reason could you have for that?” There is a reason, and I think a fairly good reason. I’m using it as an example of this point: I’m trying to make this web […]
