Episode 264 - Getting better support
Lee Jackson
What's inside?
A product or service is more often than not measured by the quality of support provided. The reputation of a company can be its downfall should it provide poor after care. Yet I think there are ways that we can improve the support we get from the products that are essential to our business by changing our own attitude towards seeking help.
We are just as responsible for the level of support we receive from our service providers as they are. In this episode I’m going to explore both sides of the situation, and lay out a plan for giving and receiving a better support experience.
If you want to improve the support you provide, or get better service from your providers, this episode is for you.
