Frustrated

Here we go yet again!!!!
The Republican Congress has proposed a bill that is sure to get veto, it may not even get pass the Senate, and really has not chance of becoming law.  The sad fact is that we the American people are caught in the middle once again.


Congress passed a bill that includes, an extension to the payroll tax cut and an extension of unemployment benefits, both things that President Obama wants, but they also loaded the bill up with things that I am sure will never get past the senate and if it does it will surely get veto by the President. Things such as denying unemployment benefits to high school dropout, if they are now enrolled in a GED program, allowing stated to drug test people who do get benefits, and cutting the number of weeks one can receive benefits.

Congress is also trying to tie Medicare Fixes to this bill, all of which John Boehner knows will not get past the Senate or will get vetoed by the president.  All of this is so they can say “See they are not really for the middle class” once the bill does not pass.

When are the folks in Washington, going to stop playing games and do what is right for the American people?
When are they going to realize that people are frustrated and feed-up.

They can pass a stupid bill (that doesn’t stand a chance), but can’t pass a jobs bill!!! Wake up everybody and see what’s going on here!!!

Which is a damn shame, because personal service, when done right, is incredibly powerful. It can be the difference between a customer forgetting about you the minute their transaction is over, and that same person returning to become a loyal customer for life. But there’s a difference between saying that you deliver personal service (as so many companies do), and actually doing it. Today, I’m going to share what personal service really is, why it’s so important for your business, and actionable tips you and your team can use to start making your support more personal. The Value of Personal Service A few years ago, a survey by Genesys asked more than 9,000 consumers about what mattered to them most when it came

What customers think is good service

In theory, the “tricks” to delivering awesome customer service are pretty straightforward: Empathy Appreciation Helpfulness Seems pretty easy, right? Just develop these three skills, and you'll be set. Sure, you can tune these by mastering the “thank you,” or by understanding how things like tone and word choice make a difference in support. But in practice, delighting customers isn't so straightforward -- what actually works doesn’t always reflect what most of us would assume. There are quite a few counterintuitive truths that can make or break how your customers feel about your service. Below are five surprising data points on what people really expect out of "good" customer service. 1) Should you start with the good news, or the bad news? It depends. How many times has someone asked you whether you want them to start with the good news or the bad news? It’s an old cliche, but it turns out that it actually does make a difference. And the order you choose ca

The Power of Positive Customer Service

The Power of Positive Customer Service As a customer, there’s nothing more frustrating than unsatisfactory customer service. On the other hand, there’s nothing more satisfying than when a business provides friendly, timely, and helpful customer service. When it comes to retail environments, customer service is key to creating a positive shopping experience. Let’s look at how retailers can create a positive customer service experience in their stores.     Be Proactive One of the best things that retailers can do to ensure positive customer service is to be proactive in their approach. This means being able to anticipate the needs of customers before they even ask for help.
