Steve DiGioia

There’s always that one employee who refuses to follow directions. It seems that no matter how many times you talk to him, he continues to “forget” to do what he’s told or at worst, intentionally refuses to do it. So, what do you do with an employee like this?

Don’t serve to satisfy customers. Serve to WOW them.

Bill Quiseng

Don’t serve to satisfy customers. Serve to WOW them. The customer does not “journey” sequentially over time, from start to finish. They journey emotionally with “ow” and “WOW moments” The more ow or WOW, the more emotional the moment, the more memorable the experience.
