Throughout my life so far, I’ve only traveled by plane a total of two times.
Once to Atlanta to attend a live seminar put up by the great business and mindset coach, David Neagle.
The other time to Chicago with a friend as a spontaneous trip.
Both of those airline experiences were quite pleasant.
But I know some people have had unpleasant experiences, especially when they travel with children.
Thankfully, American Airlines has a heart and I read that they launched a new program to make group traveling a lot less stressful.
For a small fee of $150, or large depending on your viewpoint, you’ll have someone assist you throughout the entire process from checking in to boarding.
It doesn’t sound like a big deal the way I explained it. But to a person who has to look after hard-to-control children on top of dealing with airport stress, being offered an extra hand sounds life-saving.
It’s as if you have a personal assistant on your side. To the right person, he or she would gladly spend that amount of money.
Now if you ask me, that is good customer service.
I think all businesses, big or small, should strive to give their customers an experience at that level.
And when you do it right, those happy customers will be more than willing to stick around and will gladly spend their money on you.
Speaking of better customer service, if you want to learn how to enhance your customer service skills, I personally recommend reading Vance Morris’ book, Tales From the Customer Service Crypt.
It’s a short read, but extremely valuable nonetheless.
