How successful salespeople take it to the next level

Situational Service is yet another confirmation of how much it pays to listen
Situational Service® – Customer Care for the Practitioner is a handbook, a desktop reference and a paper coach for the professional service practitioner.
What it takes to really deliver on customer expectations will continue to be more challenging. It seems that as each of us works harder to provide the best of service, our own expectations of how we should be treated as a customer continue to rise. And our tolerance for mediocre service delivery…falls to an all-time low.
Now consider the service provider in the equation. It is no longer just a smiling face, an empty suit to greet you at the front door. The service provider is now a team leader, technician or manager – anyone that maintains the human interface between company and customer. It is everyone’s job. How well we deliver our product or service has become the first rate predictor of organizational health – long before the numbers come in. Customer care is lifted from nice to do, to critical professional skill set…and none too soon!
Slogans, wowing, dazzling and delighting. All are passé, if not insulting to the professional practitioner. In Situational Service Don Brown captures the thousands of real-life lessons shared with him over hundreds of live training sessions. He listened! Their collective centuries of experience around what works, what doesn’t and why, give us this unique application of the world’s most successful influence tool – Dr. Paul Hersey’s situational model.
