When employees don’t care about customer service…

Direct Marketing Observations

So I had a nearly catastrophic event happen today. If it were not for me trusting my gut it would have ended badly. Let me tell the story. I had to meet a client at a local restaurant in Naples, Florida. I had a lot of things with me that I had to hand off to them and thus was a tad bit harried. Plus the fact that I was running late for another appointment meant that the normal focus was not there.
