What's worth more than money in customer service?

Micah Solomon Keynote speech (video)

We hear it all the time: “There are things worth more than money.”  But how often do we forget, in customer service, that there are things worth far more than money to our customers, our guests, our clients?

Next time a customer is upset, next time you have a service failure, don’t jump immediately to financial compensation.  Dig in to the root of your customer’s upset and work with her to find out what really matters, and how you can turn the situation around.  Money may not be the half of it.  Being listened to, being sincerely apologized to, being acknowledged may be far more of what your customer is hoping for.
