A look at the world of Customer Service: how to solve (or avoid) horror stories and make life better for everyone involved.

    Matt Alexander: Really Intensely Personal

    Matt Alexander: Really Intensely Personal

    Just over three years ago, Matt Alexander founded Need, a publication that releases exclusive, curated clothing and products for "the modern gentleman". They later addedForemost, a line of affordable, American-made clothing for men and women. This month, Need became Imprint and launched an iOS app. This is the origin of Need's customer service model, and how it helped them grow and evolve from a sensation (Need) into a tangible, formidable Imprint in the world of fashion. Matt Alexander will return. (cue "James Bond Theme")

    On the highway from one major city in Texas to another, there's always at least one really good, locally-owned place to eat. A little over 40 miles outside of Austin on the way to Houston is Taqueria Chihuahua, a place full of good food and good people who have been serving customers for over 20 years. Be ready for a taco that it takes two hands to eat.

Moises at his best

I listen to all of Moises’ podcasts and this is his best. Not sure why, it just is.

joecab ,

because everyone loves customer service! (yikes!)

Get ready to laugh and cringe and rage at some hilarious and incredulous customer service stories from the front lines and from the customer's end too. I mean, deep down, haven't we all had a customer threaten us if we didn't have the game he wanted? Or go through heck trying to just get a reliable internet connection from a major telecom? Frustration and laughs abound.

long-life ,

So looking forward to the next one!

Everyone who works is in customer service in one way or another. It is a nice balance to hear some of the great, positive case studies, along with other episodes that vent about some of the bad and some of the downright awful!
