Imagine you just purchased an expensive product from a company online, only to get home and discover it wasn’t working correctly. This particular company has dozens of different businesses and literally hundreds of products and services. You have no idea what number to call to address your issue. The last thing you want is to get stuck in automated customer service hell listening for hours to an annoying voice telling you to press yet another number on your phone. Only this situation almost never happens with this particular organization because it is famous for having a single, easy to remember number you can call for any complaint or question related to any of its myriad businesses. Every caller reaches a real live person within 10 seconds of placing the call. It gets better. Because the company has such well trained customer service representatives and has invested in developing a highly sophisticated customer relationship management system, 85 percent of the time your issue can be addressed and questions answered by the original person who took your call. No getting transferred from person to person, no getting put into an automated system. It gets better still. Within minutes of getting off the phone you receive an email acknowledging your call, specifying how it will be resolved and giving you a tracking number so you can go online anytime and see just who is working on your complaint. A few days later you get a letter from the CEO telling you how your issue has been addressed. It’s the Cadillac of customer service.
