Entrepreneurial phenomenon Ari Weinzweig, co-founder
of the much-loved Zingerman's Deli, shares the secrets
to providing world-class customer service. Zingerman's
in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is a beloved deli with some of
the most loyal clientele around. It has been praised for
its products and service in media outlets far and wide,
including the New York Times, Men's Journal, Inc.
Magazine, Esquire, Atlantic Monthly, USA Today, and Fast
Company. And what started out as a small deli has grown
to a flourishing restaurant, catering service, bakery,
mail-order operation, creamery, and training business.
Booming business and loyal customers are proof enough
that the Zingerman's team knows a thing or two about
customer service. Now in Zingerman's Guide to Giving
Great Service, co-founder Ari Weinzweig shares the
unique Zingerman method of treating customers, giving
the reader step-by-step instructions on what to teach
staff, how to train them, how to implement the training,
how to measure their success, and finally, how to reward
performance. Some of Zingerman's time-tested principles:
--Customers who get a great product but poor service
won't be as loyal as those who are disappointed with a
product but get great service.--You'll get more
complaints if people believe you care enough to listen
to them. And that's a good thing.--Employees who are
rewarded, respected, and well cared for treat customers
the same way. |
