Anyone who is interested in self-help probably knows that sometimes, making someone else’s day makes a person feel better than anything else! That’s why I wanted to inform you that National Customer Service Week is coming up and you may be able to make a difference in someone’s entire work attitude.
If you’re an employer, manager, team lead, etc. you should know that Customer Service Week is October 4th-8th. This national event is devoted to honoring the people who serve and support customers. Give back to them this week to let them know how much you appreciate their kind efforts that keep customers feeling special, build customer loyalty and affirms your dedication to support their efforts to provide top notch customer service.
“Aim for service and success will follow”

I recently read an article where Drew Barrymore touted the effectiveness of self help cards. I can’t say that she exactly invented the self help card, but I can say that they are a good idea! Basically, you print a few cards off that you carry around and either look at, or show to someone else when you’re getting a little over-heated. A few examples Barrymore gave Stylist magazine were “Go and take five minutes,” and “I need a minute.”
