Customer Service Guru Chip Bell Releases Latest Book in Bestselling Innovative Service Series

"Kaleidoscope" shows how to turn great customer service into something enchanting.

Lambertville, MI (PRWEB) February 01, 2017

‘Tis the season of love. But are businesses showing customers their true heart? Or are they just going through the motions?

In the latest book of his bestselling series, customer service guru Chip Bell reveals how to offer service that makes customers swoon and become zealous advocates. He shares the secrets of what it takes to evoke these feelings of affection inside customers, and how to inspire employees to provide this kind of innovative service.

"Kaleidoscope: Delivering Innovative Service That Sparkles," released by Greenleaf Book Group, will be available Valentine's Day on Amazon and at all major booksellers. It follows "The 9½ Principles of Innovative Service" (Simple Truths, 2012) and "Sprinkles: Creating Awesome Experiences Through Innovative Service" (Greenleaf Book Group, 2014).

This latest book compares innovative service to a kaleidoscope which, like innovative service, provides wonderful amusement. Rotating the cylinder to deliver new expressions of radiance is guaranteed to evoke "oohs" and "ahhs." But the colorful pieces of glass or gems inside the working end of the kaleidoscope never change. They're the core character of the kaleidoscope's artistic expression.

"Innovative service comes from the core, or the heart," explains Bell. "It evokes an experience of genuineness, a sense that its source is deep, not superficial."

Symbolically speaking, it's homemade versus store-bought—it's the waitress in a Manhattan diner putting a flower arrangement from her wedding anniversary the day before on a diner's table; the auto dealership that puts a rose on the dash of a customer's car after she has had it serviced; or the Disney World housekeeper who tucks stuffed toys into bed while the hotel room's guests are away in the theme park, making it appear as if the toys had magically come alive.

Bell's latest book is about the different shades of colored glass inside the "kaleidoscope" of value-unique service. Each chapter reveals a different shade of its charisma and depth. Throughout the book, Bell offers real-life examples of this service along with fifty action items to turn the philosophy into practice—and results.

"Kaleidoscope" shares how business owners and professionals can and should:

• Show grace and honor their customers,
• Be trusting and keep their promises,
• Be generous to serve it forward,
• Tell the truth and nurture candor,
• Show mercy and let it go,
• Build a partnership with customers,
• Make the customer experience easy and headache-free, and
• Show their passion.
