  "OUR TAKE" (more)

  10/10/06 - Digging Into the Archives
This week I am using this column to review past topics. Today, I'm going to dig a bit deeper in the "Our Take" archives to share with you a few topics of great interest to our readers this summer.
 
So if you took an extended summer vacation or just feel like catching up, scan topics like Profits Through Penalties, Service Values, or Call Center Numbers Stink. You can also learn more about Service Branding, Self Service, or Unprofitable Customers.
 
And, as you might expect, we have a summary of all column topics. We will continue to scan our archives and add more topics during the week.
