Welcome

Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?

Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.

This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.

There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.

I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.

The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

How to Provide Great Customer Service, Part One


Paid Advertisement






Customer service is the cornerstone for any business. If you have all the other fundamentals right, but you drop the ball on customer service, you don’t have a business at all, at least not for long.

What is great customer service and why is it important? Great customer service is when a customer feels so overwhelmed by the service that they never think of shopping elsewhere. There is a story about what happened one day when Marshall Field was walking through his department store of the same name. It is told that he overheard an employee disagreeing with a female customer. 
As the story goes, what the woman was asking for was completely out of the ordinary and not in keeping with normal store policy. Mr. Field is quoted as saying “Give the lady what she wants.” That quote became a part of the store legend and was used as an example of how to interact with customers. Marshal Field’s had the reputation of providing excellent customer service.


When customers are not only satisfied, but have had more than their expectations met and leave saying “Wow!,” then you can expect them to return.
