<p><strong>So do you do GREAT customer service?</strong> Are you sure? I sat down with author and entrepreneur John DiJulius of <a href="http://www.thedijuliusgroup.com/">The DiJulius Group</a> to get his advice on how to transform your business with amazing customer service.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.thebizwebcoach.com/public/122.cfm">Listen to the podcast with John here</a>.</strong></p>

<p><strong>About John</strong></p>
<p>He is the founder and CVO (Chief Visionary Officer) of The DiJulius Group, a consulting firm helping companies &#8220;Make Price Irrelevant&#8221;. Top organizations across the world use his philosophies and systems for creating world class service. He has worked with companies such as the Ritz Carltons, Lexus, Nordstroms, Starbucks, Hallmark Cards, Panera Bread, Cheesecake Factory, Hotel Del Cornado, Progressive Insurance, US Bank, Nemacolin Resort, Seattle&#8217;s Best Coffee, Chick-fil-A, and many more, to help them continue to raise the bar and set the standard in customer experience. John has pioneered dozens of revolutionary customer service concepts and techniques that are easy to use.

<p>John is not just telling others how to do it. Besides owning and running The DiJulius Group, he is also the founder and owner of John Robert&#8217;s Spa, five locations (over 150 employees), which he uses as his living laboratories to test his findings and theories. John Robert&#8217;s Spa has been named one of the Top 20 Salons in America.</p>
<p>One of the most captivating and charismatic speakers today, John will not only share what the best customer service organizations do, but more importantly &#8220;how&#8221; they implement and execute it consistently companywide.

<p>This video talks about my views on how good customer service is essential to your success. And I&#8217;m not just talking about &#8220;customers who buy stuff&#8221;. You may not sell anything. How you deal with people who read your blog, or who watch your videos, or who interact with your brand in any way&#8230; those are customers. Believe it. Everyone you interact with is your customer. You are always selling, indirect or direct. </p>
