Outrageous!: Unforgettable Service...Guilt-Free Selling - Softcover

Outrageous customer service is taking American companies by storm. From small-town chicken outlets to suburban furniture stores to corporate giants like Southwest Airlines, extraordinary customer service has become the key to business success.

Spearheading today's hard-serve, soft-sell message is T. Scott Gross, a confirmed believer in outrageous customer service and a wildly popular speaker on the subject. Gross believes that great service, not cut-throat selling, is what customers respond to best. And giving great service is a fun, guilt-free form of selling that anyone can learn to love -- even the most sales-phobic clerk on the company's front line.

Now Gross uncovers the secrets to delivering extraordinary customer service in Outrageous!, a new step-by-step guide to his original POS (positively outrageous service) program. Entertaining without being frivolous, instructive without becoming boring, the books shows business owners and service providers how to:

** build positive word-of-mouth to attract new customers ** use appealing opening lines that engage the customer ** get everyone in the organization to sell through service ** create a world-class service culture that lasts Outrageous! is loaded with lively, real-life anecdotes of extraordinary service, each told with a contagious dose of wit and enthusiasm. In fact, Gross's story-telling abilities are as superb in print as they are in person.

Great selling is a by-product of great service. And this book delivers a sure-fire approach to making serious profits -- and having serious fun -- through positively outrageous service.
