CEO of American Business Radio and Former Deputy Secretary of Commerce (MD),

    Written to the CEOs of America, Long states that "customer service has
reached such a dismal level with customers experiencing some of the most
unthinkable service nightmares. The first step in improving customer service
is by starting the conversation with 'the head of the ship.'"
    Congressman Elijah Cummings, a member of the industry reform and oversight
committee said that "in today's business environment, products and services
can be duplicated quickly; the differentiating factor is how you treat your
customers."
    In this easy-to-read and understandable "letter," the short chapters in
the book include topics such as, the lines are too long, the old shoulder
shrug is never acceptable, For Heaven Sakes tell us why the policy is the
policy, 10 keys to great customer service, the top four meaningless statements
in customer service, no more prejudging the customer and last minute things
about food service.
    Long believes that now more than ever is the time to put customer service
at the forefront. "As we go through the holidays, customer service is at the
center of the season. This is the time to begin the conversation."
    Customer Service Sucks! A Letter to the CEOs of America is published by
ABR Publishing and is available exclusively on Amazon.com
