That simple phrase is "How do you deliver the WOW?" 

How do you deliver the WOW? Is a short, simple sentence with a powerful meaning.  I have searched and read many articles on customer service and service delivery to put into words the meaning of that simple phrase.  As a result I have come to understand that there is no one meaning behind that phrase but rather a collection of actions and attitudes to fulfill my mind set of "How do you deliver the WOW?"  


I can not take all of the credit for the items listed below because I have read and been influenced by reading many articles and guides on customer service, as well my own life experiences as well.  Some of the items listed are things I do naturally, others I have to work on.   


So lets ask the question; "What does Delivering the WOW mean?"
To make it simple Delivering the WOW experience means:

"Make your customers say "WOW" That was a great experience."

In order to build your business, keep your clients, turn your clients into a referral machine; YOU have to Deliver the WOW in everything, everyday, all the time. 

This allows you to charge more for your services, build your business and be most important of all be successful. 

Once you out deliver better than anyone else in your community, you will not have to worry about competitors or where your next client is coming from

Examples of how to delivery the WOW.

Deliver the WOW every time someone walks into your facility
Deliver the WOW every time someone talks to you over the phone
