customer service

The value of a perk is inversely related to the expectation of that perk.

seth godin. want to convert a customer for life? be amazing in an unexpected way.

if you work in customer service and/or returns

if you work in customer service, and your company just shipped a damaged product to a customer, don't tell the customer "why don't you ship it back, and we'll check it out. if it proves defective then we'll replace it."

you just called me a liar. that's a good way to make me want to shop somewhere else.
