In a confrontation with a customer, you have a goal: win the customer , not the argument. I’ve written about this before, and it’s worth coming back to this topic from another angle with a different example. First, an interaction with a customer should never result in an argument. The best people in customer service, sales, or any frontline customer-facing job avoid escalating a confrontation to the level of a dispute.

It’s never been more important to understand your customers and what they value. It’s easy to say that we put the customer first, but what does that actually look like in practice? In the past, customer service centers were viewed as cost centers or expenses. Today, the organizations that are delivering a superior customer experience are proving just how outdated that perspective is.

QUI QUESTION: Customer service is a performance art. Are you Oscar-worthy? Movie actors like Sandra Bullock, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Dwayne Johnson, and Keanu Reeves act to be happy, sad, scared, scary, or angry. Yet, we, as the audience, believe they are genuinely real. The actors may “act their part”, but they are so good that we, as the audience, believe they are real.

Every jeweler knows that the perfect cut can turn a dull stone into a glittering, must-have piece. The right cut is crucial because it maximizes the gem’s ability to reflect and refract light and enhances its brilliance. It’s not just about shaping the stone but optimizing its proportions and angles to unlock its full potential. In some ways, the transformative process of gem cutting is similar to the journey of jewelry store marketing.

Despite its ubiquity, AI has been underutilized in government affairs. While many lawmakers have weighed the antitrust implications of AI, not many in the public sector have sought out ways in which the technology can improve governance.
