Principles for Delivering Customer Delight

"The Dallas Stars Hockey Club utilized the Principles for Delivering Customer Delight program throughout our entire organization. Its emphasis on the importance of delivering uncompromising customer service reinforced our organizations commitment to all of our customers, both internally and externally."

"Steve Zipkoff’s easy to understand, humorous presentation kept every person’s attention, and his program, based on simplicity will ensure that all employees of the Dallas Stars will utilize what was taught. Steve’s teaching style of "if you’re laughing, you’re listening and if you’re listening, you’re learning", definitely created an atmosphere of delight for all who participated."

"I recommend this program for any company that wants to improve its ability to support their customers and provide a unique approach to building positive customer relationships. I have been exposed to many programs. This was the best."

Jim Lites
President
Dallas Stars Hockey Club

Principles for Delivering Customer Delight

"Our organization, The Foster Financial Group, participated in The Principles for Delivering Customer Delight program. With the stock market constantly in a state of flux, providing additional services to our clients is crucial if we are to remain a viable investment organization and a value to our clients."

"This program reinforced to our financial advisors, planners and support teams that it is just as important to deliver outstanding quality service as it is to provide thought out targeted financial expertise and overall investment planning capabilities."

Steve Zipkoff’s unique teaching style kept all attendees informed and motivated to implement what was taught. It is a one-of-a-kind program that will provide a substantial return on investment for years to come. It is a program I highly recommend."

I wanted to thank you for the presentation you gave to my sales organization. I believe your “Customer Delight” presentation to be very insightful, and valuable. Too many times we forget what it is like to be a customer, your seminar brings everything back into focus.

I have had very positive feedback from my sales teams. I would definitely recommend this training stream to any organization that is interested in making the customer experience as enjoyable as possible. Thanks again for your time and effort.  Thanks,

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for the outstanding workshop you held for Lone Star Steel’s Specialty Tubing group. The six basic principles for delivering customer delight are extremely applicable to essentially every segment of our business. Not only do these principles apply to serving our end customers, they are also excellent leadership principles that will help all of us continue to work together and support each other internally. In addition, these principles support and help create the type of organizational environment that we feel is necessary to our long-term sustained success.

In fact, as a result of your workshop, I have already observed significant changes in the types of decisions being made and the type of positive and supportive relationships we are working to develop with our customers and within our own organization.

Thanks so much for your help and support. It was a huge success.

The Rejuvenation Process: Developing a High Performance Team

"I am writing this communiqué to you to confirm our earlier conversation about the impact that I have seen your Rejuvenation Process has had on Comerica’s Lockbox Department and Treasury Management. Lockbox had a long history of being an under performer at Comerica Bank Texas and had hardly ever met their monthly performance goals. Since all of their people went through the Rejuvenation Process Training they have established their own internal training process for their people and new comers. They have improved their efficiency and effectiveness to the point where they are recognized every month as being one of the top performing departments within Comerica Bank Texas."

"They have in fact done so well that at the 1997 Annual Officers Meeting they were honored with being awarded the Comerica Bank Texas President’s Quality Award."

Robert A. McDaniel
Vice President
Manager, Treasury Management
Comerica Bank Texas
