In this episode of the Customer Strategy Podcast, I'm talking with Kirt Manecke.

Kirt is the author of the best-selling book SMILE Sell More With Amazing Customer Service.

We had an interesting conversation about how Kirt has transformed the businesses he's run and worked for through incredible customer service.

It's often the simple things that when done well make the greatest impact. Kirt's book is a testament to this philosophy and is an easy read designed for quick implementation.

Anyone involved in working with other people, not even just those working with customers, can get value from Kirt's expertise.
