The Customer Rules

The 39 Essential Rules for Delivering Sensational Service

De: Lee Cockerell

Narrado por: Lee Cockerell

The former Executive Vice President of Walt Disney World shares indispensible Rules for serving customers with consistency, efficiency, creativity, sincerity, and excellence.

Lee Cockerell knows that success in business--any business--depends upon winning and keeping customers. In 39 digestible, bite-sized chapters, Lee shares everything he has learned in his 40+ year career in the hospitality industry about creating an environment that keeps customers coming back for more. Here, Lee not only shows why the customer always rules, but also the Rules for serving customers so well they'll never want to do business with anyone but you. For example:

Rule #1: Customer Service Is Not a Department
Rule #3: Great Service Follows the Laws of Gravity
Rule #5: Ask Yourself "What Would Mom Do?"
Rule #19: Be a Copycat
Rule #25. Treat Every Customer like a Regular
Rule #39: Don’t Try Too Hard

As simple as they are profound, these principles have been shown to work in companies as large as Disney and as small as a local coffee shop; from businesses selling cutting-edge technologies like computer tablets to those selling products as timeless as shoes and handbags; at corporations as long-standing as Ford Motors and those as nascent as a brand new start-up. And they have been proven indispensible at all levels of a company, from managers responsible for hiring and training employees, setting policies and procedures, and shaping the company culture to front line staff who deal directly with clients and customers

Chock-full of universal advice, applicable online and off, The Customer Rules is the essential handbook for service excellence everywhere.

Essential concepts for a service culture

Lee shares his extensive experience in the hospitality business in such a clear and concise manner that it seems as though the "39 essential rules" should be self-evident.

Unfortunately, finding places where guest/customer service seems to be an important part of the culture are still far too rare. Lee shares his extensive experience creating a culture of service at what has come to be regarded as one of the most successful customer-centric vacation destinations in the world. A truly essential read for anyone who desires to create or contribute to developing a culture of service for their organization, regardless of the industry or business they are in.

Lee Cockerell does it again!

Follow Lee's advice and you will win at customer service and when that happens everybody wins.

Practical business advice for every area, but of course most of all in providing excellent service to your clients.

Though Highly Ignored, It's Still Relevant

Although finding customer service like this anywhere in America nowadays is few and far between, it's still nice to revisit this way of thinking and management style every now and again. I often come back to it as a resource to keep me sane in my journey of trying to remain the leader I hope to work with. I highly recommend.
