It can atone for other shortfalls. — I have actually heard restaurant customers say, I had a problem with the food, but the waiter did such a great job, and the chef even came out to my table and apologized. So it all turned out fine.

No matter what field you’re in, I can guarantee that the people you serve want three main things. First, they want a product or service or other output with no defects.

The second step is complying with the customers wishes. The focus here is not on your agenda but theirs. Yes, you want to make a sale. But what is most important is what is on their mind. That is why you say “How may I help you? I’m happy to do so” And then you listen—really listen to see what is front-of-mind for them

There are two warning signals from the staff of troubled companies. The first warning signal is the overuse of the pronoun they.
