Can language be a Barrier

An Asian man was visiting London to attend to some business issues and also do some shopping. He had asked his wife who was not travelling with him to make a list for him so that he can get what she needed from London. His wife gave him the list and one of the item was some "chadi's" and that is an asian word for underwear (knickers)

Do you care if your competitor gets the sale?

How much is it costing your company when the standard of service is not as your customer expected? There was always something so fulfilling for me when my customers left very happy and revisited the department solely because of the service. Not only that but they used to bring their friends and it had a magical spiral effect.

Service Rep Saves the Day

Losing a favorite toy feels devastating to a young child. Long time Lego fan Luka Apps spent all of his Christmas money on a Ninjago (Lego ninja) named Jay XZ.

Against his dad’s advisement, he brought his Ninjago on a shopping trip … and lost it.

Luka wrote a letter to Lego explaining his loss and assuring the Lego staff that he would take extra-special care of his action figure if they sent him another one.

The response he received from a Lego customer support representative named Richard was nothing short of amazing. Richard told Luke that he had talked to Sensei Wu (a Ninjago character), writing:

He told me to tell you, “Luka, your father seems like a very wise man. You must always protect your Ninjago minifigures like thedragons protect the Weapons of Spinjitzu!”

Sensei Wu also told me it was okay if I sent you a new Jay and told me it would be okay if I included something extra for you because anyone that saves their Christmas money to buy the Ultrasonic Raider must be a really big Ninjago fan.

So, I hope you enjoy your Jay minifigure with all his weapons. You will actually have the only Jay minifigure that combines 3 different Jays into one! I am also going to send you a bad guy for him to fight!

Just remember, what Sensei Wu said: keep your minifigures protected like the Weapons of Spinjitzu! And of course, always listen to your dad.

It’s so rare to see such a thoughtful, creative response to a distraught customer that this story went viral, which was well deserved!
