Shep Hyken Speaking Topics

Focus on the Customer - LIVE!

This is important to every employee of any business; from upper management to front line employees. Customer service is not a department. It is a philosophy that includes every employee of the best companies. Everyone has customers! Some of the areas discussed include the concept of the internal customer, management’s responsibility to model behavior and building better relationships at work. The front line may service, sell and have the most contact with the “outside” customer, but the internal people serve everyone else in the organization. Servicing and treating fellow employees like customers will have a direct positive effect on your organization’s customer service/satisfaction program. Teamwork concepts can also be brought into this program.
