National Customer Service Week


What is great customer service? Like many things, hard to define, but you know it when it happens. Here we find ourselves in National Customer Service Week and you may think of this as an opportunity to experience it rather than give it. For many of you in professional careers, a customer service conversation makes you think of your employees interacting with your customers. You may groan or feel helpless.

Great customer service starts with the spirit of service from the top. Great customer service begins with managers and bosses treating their staff in such a way that it oozes out of every organizational pore.

Later this month Marigold brings ZingTrain! to town. Many years ago, the TC Area Chamber brought Disney trainers to town and many organizations sent their staff. Marigold welcomes your staff to Zing Train! but hopes to see many leaders there. Without you, your staff can only dream of great organizational culture leading to change.

October 29th promises to be a game changer for many. The Zing Train! staff brings all the wisdom of Zingerman's Deli in Ann Arbor where food and non-food industry leaders go for raising the bar of excellence. You can spend a grand to attend their on-site training, or $99 to come to Marigold Zing Train! at The Great Wolf Lodge.

The folks at ZingTrain are so confident in their approach, that many of their worksheets, essays, and forms are available on-line at no charge. Click here to requests a few.

Not to sound grandiose here, but this single event could truly change the Traverse City experience, no kidding. If you lead a company, a church, non-profit, or PTO, this one day event could set a new course for you and your organization.

See you there!,
