Becoming a Service Icon in 90 Minutes a Month gets to the core of customer service – the organization’s underlying service and sales culture. Unlike other approaches that merely focus on surface behaviors, this addresses the root cause. As Jeff puts it, “If you try to enhance service and sales behaviors without looking at the culture, you are just painting over rust – the underlying problems eventually reoccur.” To address this, he developed a model that merely takes 90 minutes a month, and creates the kind of service and sales culture that’s so powerful that you that you become the industry Service Icon.
Consider results such as the public sector crown corporation which within six months of applying these approaches found that,”…employees productivity increased by 34%…public complaints decreased by 75%.”

The frontline person recognizing a customer service challenge has the authority to identify the ‘Service Icon Answer’ to the challenge, execute the decision, and let a superior know the logic behind the decision. What we often hear from a supervisor is, ‘It’s your facility. What’s the Service Icon answer?'”
