Hello and Welcome!

Every-customer-oriented business has their own Gladys, someone who demands more than most companies are able or willing to give, one who pushes front-line service representatives’ buttons, one who requires a higher degree of skill to manage.  One who’s, let’s just say “difficult.” Yet how is it that some businesses prove able to not only satisfy their Gladys, but turn her into one of their most loyal, utterly pleased customers?
