The following are the articles are currently archived on our
web site under Tips,
Articles, and Presentations.
CUSTOMER SERVICE 101 -- If You Don't Know The
Steps, You Can't Do The Dance [2768 words]
What can this brief article possibly offer on customer service
that is not already in print, film, or video? How about a brief
summary of what all these publications offer. Customer Service 101
describes the basic six steps to building customer satisfaction.
PROBLEM SOLVING -- Fixing The Problem, Not
The Blame [955 words]
Focusing on why a mistake occurred and who is to blame wastes
time. The larger the mistake the less likely anyone will take
responsibility for making it. Fear of repercussions makes great
debaters of many of us.
Customer Treatment Training Can Make The Difference
[937 words]
Seamless customer satisfaction every day, every time, every
interaction - every "moment of truth." Realistic? No.
Attainable? Maybe! Building a seamless customer satisfaction
organization begins with understanding what will enable us to
produce successful "moments in truth."
Empowerment Training [1044 words]
No place is perfect - no one is perfect - no customer expects
you to be perfect. However, they expect you to recover in near
perfect time. Empowerment enables you and your organization to do
this. Only an empowered Service Engineer can respond immediately to
the infinite variety of customers' needs.
Measurable Objectives -- If You're Not Measuring It,
You're Not Managing It [858 words]
For over thirty years, I've observed that most training efforts
are a waste. They focus on teaching people to "learn" and "understand."
The problem with such training is that it is difficult to measure
what someone has learned or understands until they are asked to
demonstrate it with behaviors that are observable and measurable.
Motivational Training [919 words]
Want a motivated work force? One that will jump through fire,
leap over buildings in a single bound, work faster than a speeding
bullet? Then schedule an inspirational speech or hire a motivational
speaker. If done well, you may immediately accomplish all of the
above. Unfortunately, speeches that motivate people are best limited
to "half-time", because second halves usually last 30
minutes, and, that's approximately the effective length of
motivational speeches.
Training That Produces No Change Is As Effective As A
Parachute That Opens On The First Bounce [958 words]
Motherhood, apple pie, and training. All sacred . . . until
budgets become tight. Training is the first to go because, upon
close inspection, we too often discover it isn't producing
profitable results.
Turbo Charging Your Training Parachute [636
words]
'Constitutional' training turbo charges the training parachute.
This is training "of the people, by the people, and for the
people." 'Constitutional' training is based on several
truisms...

- School Is Dead, Learn
in Freedom
by Karl Bunday who has been a proponent of
education reform since he wrote his first letter-to-the-editor as a
fifth-grader in the 1968-'69 school year. Now, as a nationally-known
advocate of education reform, he actively participates in discussion
groups on CompuServe, Prodigy, USENET, and various other online
networks. As an outgrowth of his interest in education reform, Karl
Bunday has contributed to the home schooling movement with several
reading lists that aid home schoolers, scholars, policy makers, and
activists.
The most characteristic part of Karl's Web site is a
comprehensive bibliography on education reform, perhaps already the
largest in the world, and certain to be the largest in the world
after forthcoming revisions. If someone wants to start a research
project on education reform, especially what Karl calls "freedom-based"
education reform, there is hardly a better place to start than in
the bibliographies on the School Is Dead, Learn in Freedom! Web
site. Karl keeps a pointer to all the bibliographies on the site on
a separate
page
