The Book


Turning Rants into Raves: Turn Your Customers On Before They Turn On YOU! is for CEOs, business owners, and managers who want to improve the experience they are providing to their customers.

Customer service has evolved into a business strategy that helps companies differentiate themselves from their competition, sustain profitability and thrive in any type of economy, especially during recessionary times. It’s often the only competitive advantage a business has.

In the book, five principles of customer service are illuminated with insightful interviews with CEOs, business owners and employees who consistently demonstrate good customer service. We share illustrations depicting real customer service situations, both good and bad, that bring levity to a serious subject. We also show the financial value of implementing our principles by providing the impact to four business drivers and sharing the harsh reality of data on the sad state of customer service.

You’ll encounter Rant and Rave, two fictitious employees who depict real-life customer service situations — both good and bad.
