I read Smile and it’s funny because the very next day the first customer I assisted after reading it called my manager to say what a nice job I did. I took Dale Carnegie but I think we all need Smile as it is a refresher. We use it here for training and they are having all the managers read Smile.

This is one of the best resources available to quickly train a large customer service staff. The book is a quick read and contains proven techniques for closing new clients and maintaining current customers. Manecke has been able to present all the essentials in a quick and engaging fashion.
If you are a Service Desk manager and need to quickly train a staff of 100+ customer service representatives, Manecke’s book is a great resource. Your staff will be able to quickly understand and apply the material which will translate into improved customer service metrics for your company.Rick Jacobs, Franklin, MI

SMILE’s easy-to-use format and well-rounded content makes it this book a informative source for those wanting to brush up on their social skills, a nice companion to an existing training program or a simple strategy for a small company to follow, or a foundation on which to build a customer service program.
Though touted as a customer service tool, much of Manecke’s advice is based on common sense social etiquette, effective communication skills and basic psychology that makes SMILE appealing and relevant to a vast audience ranging from employees and employers, high school students to high level business people, from sales staff to teachers to anybody that has a job requiring human interaction.IndieReader
