My mom Leslie was hands-on and personally involved with Customer Service when she supported her customers at Kelly Temporary Services. She has shown me constantly time and again how excellent service can set you apart. She strives to make all her customers feel special.
For those of us in business, it is invaluable to remember the customer is KING! Michael D. Brown the author of Fresh Customer Service makes many good points. Michael was interviewed on the Indie Beauty Network where he mentioned that “nobody has a monopoly on products or services nowadays.

Some examples I am incorporating are a handwritten note thanking them for choosing you, samples of other items for them to try, on occasion reduced or flat-rate shipping & speedy service.
How can I assist you?” - A simple question that reflects our commitment to your satisfaction.
Listen actively. - To respond effectively, we must first understand your perspective fully.

we are looking forward to lighting up your life!
Love, Laughter & Candlelight! XO Lisa
