As we head into another year it’s timely now to consider how well set -up you are with your staff to deliver on the customer service promise. As the article in this post reflects on, whether you’re from the poshest designer boutiques on Fifth Avenue to the airy aisles of big-box stores, sales associates are the front line in customer experience.
