Good Service Rules
This time around I thought I’d post something by Ron Kaufman which I believe applies to every business, everywhere. I first attended his “UP Your Service” seminar a couple of years ago and was highly impressed. Went out to the local bookstore and got two of his books. He is the maestro of customer service!

Systems at the Temple
There are a couple of things I want to write about today but mostly, they revolve around something close to my heart – systems.
I had wanted to write about my experience at Annalakshmi at the Temple of Fine Arts, Penang the night I got home, but I took a few days to clear my mind and think: how can I turn this into something positive? A lesson to be learnt?
We took a friend who is vegetarian to dine at Annalakshmi last week. He had come from Ipoh and we knew he enjoyed the delicious vegetarian fare each time he ate at Annalakshmi.
