When did ordinary customer service become extraordinary? When did getting a client on the phone become akin to winning tickets in a radio station promotion ("Congratulations! You're the 25th caller!")? Somewhere along the line what was once expected in everyday business disappeared. Perhaps people got too busy or maybe the basics were no longer deemed as necessary, but we now live in a sad world where "No problem" has replaced "My pleasure" and essential customer needs go unanticipated and therefore unmet. Perhaps the better question to ask is, how can you benefit?
