  • Subjective anecdotes for success
The only data points for these rules is that the author utilized them throughout his career. Some are very good to keep in mind, but others are so so. None get any sort of baseline comparison for what actually leaves the customer off in a better state quantitatively. Everything in this book is subjective and largely from a singular viewpoint. ... show more

  • Sooner you start the sooner you'll reap the rewards
Lee has a lifetime of experiences to share from some highly respected customer service driven organisations and has distilled it down into only 39 rules. They sound so simple but guess its messy and hard to get them constantly adhered to by everyone. They are not only essential but should form the solid foundation for a customer service driven organisation. The sooner you adopt them the sooner you will see the results. ... show more

  • Customer Service Bible
I don’t leave many reviews, as a matter of fact I don’t leave reviews at all, but I just finished this book and I’m so impressed I couldn’t not give five stars. It is simple and fast read (appreciate those being a foreigner), each chapter is concise with the great life examples. This book should be a part of onboarding packet for each employee , irrespective of industry. Great material! ... show more

  • If You Want to Create Your Own Brand of "Disney" Magic
While I don't agree 100% that the customer is always right (I'm around 95%), this book is chock full of great advice for making sure your customers are happy enough to not only come back, but also bring more people with them. Sometimes customers just ask for things that will lead to the destruction of your business model. Mr. Cockerell's experience with Disney should not be discounted. Everyone around the world knows Disney, and replicating that kind of global success should be your goal. ... show more

  • The only Customer Service book you'll ever need.
In a world full of cookie cutter customer service theory, Lee Cockerell is the ultimate craftsman. Hands down the best the world has seen, because Lee's wisdom comes from doing it on a massive scale for a long, long time - leading 40,000 Disney employees for nearly a decade of sensational world-class service. There is no theory in Lee's book. Only results - world class results. The brilliance of "The Customer Rules" is in Lee's profoundly simple, and simply profound approach. Never get bored with the basics. Ever. Sensational customer service doesn't have to be complicated. It's really just common courtesy, which is no longer quite so common. These 39 Rules will work for anyone, in any organization. ... show more
