BRIDGING THE GAP IN
2001
If you asked each of your customers to grade the service you provide
on a scale from 1 to 10, what grade do you believe they would
give you, 1 being the worst, 10 being absolutely perfect?
Regardless of the score your company was given, if your follow
up question were, what would we need to do to take if from the
score given to a 10, what would you think the answer would be?
If you evaluated each of your account managers using the same 1
to 10 scale, what number would you assign to each of them? And,
if you used your best judgment to determine what each would need
to be, to do, or become in the future to deserve a 10, what changes
would need to take place?
Assuming you could formulate a plan to help each of your account
managers bridge that numerical gap and actually make it into that
illusive 10 category, how might that change impact their performance,
their attitude about the career path they are on, and the prospects
of them still being on your team months, even years, from now?
Back to bridging the gap
have you considered the possibility
that taking the step to have additional account managers professionally
trained might just be one of the best investments you could make
in both your account managers and your business?
You will find the schedule of classes for the first quarter of
2001 enclosed. We already have individuals being scheduled for the
January class. If you have one or more employees you would like
to send, just let us know of your intentions.
We would like to wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and best wishes
for the coming year. We look forward to being a part of what makes
2001 the best year ever for your business.
