The Journey to a World-Class Customer Service Culture

Achieving a culture of consistent World-Class Customer Service in any organization is a journey. And like all journeys, there are a few things that need to happen for yours to be a success. A good start, for instance, is to make sure you have a clear understanding of where you are, as well as where you want to end up. It's a good idea to have a map.
Your drivers must have the skill to stay focused on the road, with enough foresight to minimize the bumps, and make the quick stops for things that unexpectedly run out in front of you. They require the ability to navigate through poor conditions. They need to know when its time to step on the gas, and when its time to just sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Your engine should run smoothly with the myriad of specialized, fine-tuned parts all performing independently and interdependently to a common purpose, each trusting the others to accomplish their task. Your vehicle should be proudly cleaned and polished, to protect it from corrosion and the wear and tear of the road.
Keep in mind that stopping to refuel occasionally is not a waste of precious time but a necessity for reaching your destination. Oh - and while you're there, check the oil and change parts that have worn out.
Most importantly, keep reminding yourself why you are on the road in the first place. Believe in the importance of your journey.
