The world is changing quickly with big rewards for innovators and creators of new value.
When your system says “no,” “cannot” or “won’t do it,” that’s a clue to open up for new possibilities and new approaches that add new value. Out-of-the-box thinking can improve customer service quality and help your business thrive over the long haul.
Change “cannot” into “How can we?” Transform “no” into “Let’s find a yes.” Convert “won’t do it” into “How should we make this happen?” All of these things bolster service quality, improve your business and give you the mindset necessary for success.
