Who knew a cabbie could teach you so much about customer service?
As a successful professional speaker who travels constantly, Phillip Van Hooser has been in and out of his fair share of cabs. But only one cabbie ever taught him anything about customer service. That cabbie is Willie, and the commonsense wisdom he imparted has become known as Willie's Way.
Willie doesn't have an MBA, but he doesn't need one to now that the most critical aspect of salesmanship is a personal relationship with the customer. In fact, people enjoy doing business with people they know and like -- and they remember people they like when it's time to do business again. The simple things Willie does to get to know his customers not only leave them happy, but also leave them wanting more of his special brand of service. What kind of business leader wouldn't want his customers to feel the same way?
In Willie's Way, Van Hooser reveals Willie's unique brand of personalized service -- how he woos customers so they come back, how he wows them so they tell their friends, and how he wins their long-term business by exceeding their expectations. Even better, Van Hooser shows how business leaders can apply Willie's techniques to their own enterprises to build long-term customer loyalty.
"Van Hooser absolutely hit the bulls-eye with an outstanding instruction manual about the keys to extraordinary customer service. I have no doubt that companies and customer service professionals across virtually every industry will find value and fresh new insights in the pages of this brilliantly written gem."
Richard G. Kelley, Director of Sales Training, North America, Axcan Pharma, Inc.
