Devoted to customer service and the principles of exceptional customer services

Have you played golf with your coworkers or clients lately?  This article at Yahoo! Finance says that people who play golf tend to get ahead in their career.  I’m not implying that you should play golf to kiss butt, but it’s a way of establishing relationships with people you work with.  Check out some of these statistics from the article:

• Out of 1,000 women golfers, 73% said that golf helped them establish important business relationships

• Among 705 women managers, 41% said that not participating in informal social networks held them back at work

The bottom line is, you need to get out and meet people -- whether it’s playing golf or joining the company bowling league -- make an effort.  If you’re a business owner, call up some of your customers and ask them if they want to play golf!  I guarantee that they’ll think of you first the next time they need your services ;)
