Excellent post. <br /><br />I agree with your observation about perception. As a customer service manager I would tell my staff, "Perception is everything." It didn't matter if the customer was a nut job; what mattered was his/her perception of the situation. We had to respect that and understand that their perception = reality (to them). <br /><br />Gotta admit...sometimes I feel like 'ol Yellow Legs!Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-44615838925526052082010-10-13T21:21:05.210-05:002010-10-13T21:21:05.210-05:00Hey Linda....That was quite a story and a good ana...Hey Linda....That was quite a story and a good analogy.
