		<description>Interesting post: zappos is doing as well as it is because of its amazing service - yet a company like google does well regardless of their customer support (next to nothing). I guess if you aren&#039;t Google you need to worry about it :)</description>

		<description>In a hot market or not.  Once you&#039;re in it, changing your share isn&#039;t&lt;br&gt;likely, too risky and very expensive.  Since changing share is unlikely,&lt;br&gt;customer service is waste of effort.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Likely being in a hot market is largely accidental.  Plus, the popularity of&lt;br&gt;a market can change suddenly w/out warning.  They like acquisitions and&lt;br&gt;divestment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I like their advice because the data is very good and it runs counter to&lt;br&gt;what feels good and is popular.  Usually a good sign.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll check out the book for sure. But if service and marketing don&#039;t mean anything to a successful business - what does?</description>

		<description>Read Granularity of Growth - it says service means nothing.  Neither does marketing.  Good data to support.  Makes sense.  Of course, it FEELS wrong.  Good sign it tracks reality.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barry is very enthusiastic but data would be better, not anecdotes, please.</description>

		<description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It is really a great post having deep insight into customer services. I am highly in a favor of customer service as a feature of the business services and to be very consistent.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for sharing these points.</description>

		<description>From experiences with my business customer service is the difference between a good business and a great business. Your customers are always looking for that persoanl touch, the extra bit of effort that sets you aside from the competition. I have business&#039;s come to me willing to pay slightly more than my competitors bcause they know that if they make a phone call to me they will get the service they require. The easiest thing to do is ask yourself  &quot;what would i expect to happen when i phone a business? &quot; If you can answer that truthfully then put that into practice for your customers then youre onto a winner! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers</description>
