JUNE 26, 2014
Understanding the Sales Force by Dave Kurlan Yesterday, I was returning from New Orleans on an airline I had previously decided never to use again. When I arrived at the airport, the monitors showed that my flight, scheduled to depart at 5:18 PM, was delayed. I entered a very short queue to speak with a gate agent to learn just how long the flight would be delayed. There was one person ahead of me and one person at the counter. There were two gate agents.

Do the airlines and the FAA seriously expect us to believe that when there is no WiFi on the plane our devices will interfere with navigation but when there is WiFi on the plane the devices won't interfere?

The airlines know it's not just about the benefits they provide to those with status. Just log onto the website of your favorite airline or hotel. However, airlines and hotels have keyed in on just how eager we are to earn the recognition that comes along with winning. We all become enamored with a new concept every now and then. It's practically predictable that a buzzword will come along and grip everyone in an industry for a year-or-so.

Dave Kurlan customer service Apple Dell Verizon profesional speaking lufthansa united airlinesLast week, during my travels to Poland and back, I experienced how companies are using customer service as sales tools. In most cases, customer service tends to be vanilla, bland, and although professional in its approach, it is typically highly unspectacular. However, sometimes, customer service is so good, or so bad, that their brand statements go beyond what marketing or sales could ever do.

Business Performance Customer Service bait and switch Sales Sales Advice United AirlinesAs far as I know, the “bait and switch” is against the law in all 50 states, so how United gets away with it is beyond me. The bait and switch is when a company advertises a particular product at a particular price, then when the customer shows up to buy, they don’t have the product at that price. The price is now more expensive OR it’s a cheaper product at the same price.
