"I implemented the 5 steps of service today and my "customer" left very satisfied. She was switching housing and she had been sent to several different departments with her questions unanswered. I clarified her situation, applied the H.E.A.T, met her expectations by stopping all the back and forth by calling other departments to get the story straight. Gave her the answers she needed and she left a very satisfied customer."
