Video: The Simple Truth of Service
This video is pretty inspirational. It is about about a grocery store bagger with Down syndrome who changed the company culture and created customer loyalty by providing service from the heart. He is called Johnny the Bagger. Remeber that great service and courtesy always comes from the heart!

Video: Combatting Poor Customer Service
I just love this piece that CBS did. Great Service story about Comcast and an 80 year old customer going to their offices with a hammer to speak to their service reps. Also some key data around service. Highlights include:
- Recent Comcast Incident with a customer who walked into Comcast with a hammer.
- Industry stats on costs of agents, ivr technology, etc.
- History of Customer Service in the Call Center.
- Delta Airlines Service story about losing a puppy named Paco.
- Interview with VP of Fedex Customer Service over viewing their Service Operations. They get about 700,000 calls per day.
