Peach
Pie With Your Scuba-Dive?
Carole
is a full-time employee, part-time photographer and
an all-time scuba-diving fanatic. She moonlights on
weekends with group charters under the sea.
Carole is also a keen advocate of superior customer
service, both at work and in her hobby. She wrote:
‘I decided to apply what you taught about surprisingly
good service to our boat charter business.
‘After a full day of diving, everyone was blown
away when I brought out a homemade peach pie. Not so
much by the taste of the pie (though it was good) but
by the unique idea and the effort.
‘Needless to say, we have already received referrals
and repeat business.’
I’m a scuba-diver, too, with hundreds of dives
logged from boats all over the world. But no one, anywhere,
has come close to surprising me with a peach pie back
on the surface.
Key Learning Point
Special efforts to surprise your customers lead to great
memories…and great referrals.
Action Steps
What can you do to delight your customers with
a surprising touch of pleasure? A photograph? A telephone
call? A personal note? Peach pie, anyone?
