News and UpdatesBy Jeff HavensOctober 6, 2014Leave a comment

October 6-10 is National Customer Service Week, so I thought I’d write something about how to do it well.  Why Qs?  Because it’s a fun letter to write, and it gets so little attention on my keyboard.  There it sits, lonely and desperate for love, way up there in the upper left where my pinky…
