Thanks for sharing this! The ""Raving Fans"" concept really resonates with me - there's such a huge difference between satisfied customers and truly passionate advocates for your brand. I've seen this firsthand in my own business dealings. The book's point about low expectations is spot-on; most companies are just meeting basic standards rather than creating memorable experiences.
What strikes me most is how the authors frame customer service as a systematic approach rather than just good intentions. In today's competitive landscape, businesses that master this art of turning customers into genuine fans have such a massive advantage. I've been exploring different ways to elevate our customer experience, and found support as a service to be an interesting approach for implementing these principles at scale.
The parable format sounds perfect for making these concepts stick. Have you implemented any of the specific techniques from the book?
