		<description>Rachel,

I don&#039;t think exceptional customer service is common.  I think mediocre is kind of the standard.  In other words service just good enough that the customer has very little basis to complain to management.

One of the things I like about this whole blogging business is that I get to control the level of service that I give to my customers.  All of your points mentioned are excellent in terms of providing a foundation for an excellent experience for your customers.

Successful blogs will pay attention to these tenets and incorporate them as part of their customer service standards

Oh, and thanks for giving me an idea for my next TM post :-)

		<description>You&#039;re giving out pickles aren&#039;t you?  

Customer service is a HUGE differentiator between you and your competitors. Do it well and people will remember you and come back, do it poorly and well...not so much.

Great post,
Matt
