Delivering Happiness
Anyone and everyone who interacts with customers has the opportunity to impact them and therefore make them happy. Each conversation is a chance to improve the relationships that keep the business alive, whether at a conference, on the phone or in the grocery store line. Therefore, we should focus on these opportunities and create a culture in our respective businesses, where talented, dedicated, customer service-oriented and otherwise happy employees are the face of the company. These people ultimately represent what the company is all about; they most often determine the happiness of customers as well.
