(Loyalty factor: Exceptional service builds unforgettable brands) - In today’s competitive marketplace, customer service isn’t just a department, it’s the heartbeat of a successful business. Yet for many consumers it’s a rare luxury. When service falls short, customers don’t just walk away, they take their loyalty, their praise, and their purchasing power with them.

Most interactions were average, a few were disappointing, and a handful were truly exceptional. And here’s what stood out: We know exactly which […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/IBGkJw

But the barn is outdated and was never designed as a football facility, which is one of the […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/AxJ43u
