The "Service
Expert"
T. Scott Gross -
The one and only T.
Scott Gross, also known as THE "Service Expert." Anyone concerned about
service and guest perception must read Outrageous ... Guilt-free Selling,
Unforgettable Service. Once you've read this book, then order his tape, T. Scott
Gross Live. In our humble opinion, once you've read this book and listened to this one
hour tape, you should understand the concept of "service." You won't be a
service expert, but you should have been hit in the head with what the concept of
"service" means. This concept of "service" can be a crucial turning
point in terms of success or failure in any profession. Success in today's business
environment can be defined by this critical word - "service." Don't take
our word for it. Visit T. Scott at http://www.tscottgross.com.
If you visit his site, tell him you heard about him from Commerce Team. Not only will you
learn about the concept of "service," you'll laugh out loud. T. Scott is not
only an expert, he's also VERY funny!
