Customer service: easy as ABC, right? Live by thy mantra that the customer is always right, keep displaying that toothpaste smile and say something logical within a reasonable time frame. Check, check, double check. What more is there to it? A lot, really – a fact proven by the miserable customer service standards around the globe…
So check out these quotes… We at Casengo live by them!

3. Your customers don’t care about you. They don’t care about your product or service. They care about themselves, their dreams, their goals.
