Customer Service/ Being a Solution Provider
Many large institutions miss this mark on customer service. As the economy deteriorates, or your company looks to cut costs the first employees to lose their jobs are the non-revenue generators. This generally is your customer service team and marketing team. As these teams get smaller and smaller, more and more emphasis is being placed on the sales generators to provide the additional customer service.

Being Customer Centric:
With competition in all Industries being highly competitive what are you, your business and employees doing to differentiate yourself from your competition? Are you speaking with your employees to find out what is working and not working to be able to provide the stellar and WOW Customer Service Experience?

Employee Happiness:
As the economy starts to shift into the positive, and the job market opens up companies need to start placing more emphasis on their employees 'happiness'. CEO's need to look at shifting gears before they lose their best employees to companies that realize this before them, and move quicker than them.
