Consider Yourself an Underdog

When an organization or a department or an individual is trying to deliver the best service, it is important to constantly ask the question, “What can we/I do better?” Great organizations, departments and individuals who excel at what they do---the ones that are listed as the best of the best---never rest on their laurels. They always look for ways to improve, even if their service is the best. They never say, “I am No. 1 and I am happy.”

In our customer service workshops at ServiceElements, we have service professionals who feel they give the best service already and see no reason to change or no room to improve the service the offer. There are also service professionals who are continually driven to look for ways to get better. Over the past ten years, we have seen proof that those organizations seeking to always get better----do! And they almost always come out ahead of the competition. So, consider yourself an underdog and always strive to do better.
