I have not been able to verify the accuracy of this, but read in a magazine the other day that Craig Newmark, founder of Craig's list, has the following title listed on his business card:

Customer Service Rep

If this isn't true, it is one of those web-legends that will be repeated forever.

AND - even if it isn't, there is a very simple and powerful truth for all of us to be aware of - we all have to focus on taking care of the customer.  If we don't, someone else will - but it could be our competitor!

Re: What Is Your Title?

The CEOs (in our case, general managers of food coops) of most companies talk that talk but don't walk that walk. Most of them never set foot on the salesfloor, much less "serve customers" Those that do, great. Most don't.
