What this Disney Customer Service book is

What this Disney Customer Service book is:

It’s for misfits, rebels, troublemakers, round pegs in square holes, people who see things differently – essentially it’s for all of us who aren’t fond of rules, and who disrespect the status quo.

A gift.

Different.

Short and sweet.

Doubles as a workbook for a Disney Customer Service keynote speech, half-day or full-day retreat, or self-guided exploration.

A fresh perspective on an age-old topic.

Designed for committed people and organizations.

Written from a father-to-son perspective.

Full of practical common-sense customer service wisdom.

Full of time-tested, context-neutral business insights.

Full of strategy and tactics anyone can use – any employee, any level, any industry.

A guide for the leader just starting their career.

A guide for the leader who’s been there, done that.

A template for extraordinary customer service leadership.

The one customer service book every leader in the world should have in their professional library.

One of seven interconnected books designed to help the right person or team draw up blueprints for organizational vibrancy and personal vibrancy.

Summary:

For the right person, this book is the Customer Service Holy Grail.

The author is leaving a customer service life-guide for his son in case something bad ever happens to the author and his son has important questions after he’s gone.

The author has dedicated his life to deconstructing and then reconstructing Disney’s operational customer service DNA and presenting it in a book (and speeches) to put a positive dent in our Universe.

This book is intentionally short, simple, and focused – and as a result, powerful.

Opportunity:

Thinking differently and intentionally to build a personal or organizational leadership architecture is the opportunity of a lifetime.

What this Disney Customer Service book is not:

Not for everybody.

Not full of Disney trivia.

Not an ounce of theory.

Not eloquently written.

Not long and drawn out.

Not a one-size-fits-all recipe for success.

Not a customer service step-by-step how-to guide.

Not a guarantee.

•  •  •

Summary:

This book is not for everyone.

Tradition and convention have their place, however, it is not here.

Customer Service opportunity:

The fact that something might not work is a leading indicator that it’s worth pursuing – breakthroughs only become a thing when a transformation occurs.

Before we begin, are you satisfied with your customer service?

All weather is a gift. Sometimes storms do not seem like gifts. Storms are a natural part of life. Same with metaphorical business storms.

Before we begin, let’s ask, “Are you satisfied with your Customer Service?”

And by the way, you have anonymity, right now, with your answer – so relax, be real, and lean into discomfort just enough for your truth to be set free.

So let’s ask again…

Take a deep breath…

Exhale.

Another slow, deep breath as you hear this again…

Are you satisfied?

You.

Your Customer Service reputation and your results.

Are you satisfied?

Your answer?

Anyone’s answer?

An educated guess says our answers match.

That’s why you’re reading this book and that’s why this Disney Customer Service book needed to be written.

Summary:

Everyone wants to improve.

There are exceptions to every rule, but there aren’t many.

We are not the exceptions.

Opportunity:

Dissatisfaction can and should be used as a tactic (tool) to gain a competitive advantage.

How will you feel when you pick one of only three choices?

Original, simple design for graphic artist.

Worth it to pursue world-class Customer Service?

How will you feel if you try yet fail?

How will you feel if you never try?

How will you feel if you try and succeed?

The math says we have to try in order to succeed. But nothing is guaranteed. So the math also says trying inherently comes with the probability of failing.

Without the comfort of living with failure, success will never be ours.
