Devoted to customer service and the principles of exceptional customer services

Yesterday I watched a rerun of the Oprah Show where the topic was "Giving" and how each and every one of us has the power to make a difference in the world.  Whenever I watch Oprah I always think about the influence and power that she has - much like Princess Diana - as I mentioned in yesterday's post.  Not a day goes by that I don't think about the things that I can do to make a difference. 

Bill Clinton was on the Oprah show that aired yesterday and he said something that really stuck in my mind:  "It's not so much what I'm called, but what I'm called to do..."

Some of you are working your customer service job and think that your job is meaningless, but did you know that you also have that power to make a difference in people's lives?  Think about all those people you come in contact with on a daily basis... You of all people actually have more of an advantage and the power to influence people.  That "meaningless job" is part of your calling and you don't even know it!

Another person I deeply admire is Mahatma Ghandi whom Tim Stay writes about.  Ghandi is a prime example of how words, not wealth, can alter the course of the world and change the lives of people for years to come.

 

So, when I heard about the upcoming book, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything, I knew that this would be the perfect book for those of you who, like me, want to make a difference in this world through the work that you are currently doing. 

The book was written by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler of the company VitalSmarts.  Joseph Grenny, one of the authors said: "Our new book describes vital work done by the most influential social scientist of the past 50 years who have shown repeatedly that most any behavior can be changed if you just know how to do it. In addition, we've traveled over 100,000 miles to report first-hand about the miraculous work of some quiet but brilliant influencers who have solved world-scale problems in world-class ways—by influencing the behavior of millions of human beings. The stories are astounding and the principles are life changing. We've felt a tremendous sense of responsibility to do justice to these ideas. I hope we came close. You be the judge! We believe this book will be very impactful and inspirational--it discusses scores of amazing people from all walks of life, business, and nationality, who have made real changes in this world, who have answered the question 'How can one person change the world?'"
