Publisher's Note Branded Customer Service breaks new ground with an assertion that brand
equity is built not just through advertising and public relations, but
also through the human exchange of customer service. Customer relations
experts Janelle Barlow and Paul Stewart have a passion for branding and
explain in practical terms how to take a defined, recognizable brand
position and then make it live through delivery of service. Challenges
to consistency are discussed, as well as the internal promotion of
brands, the reinforcement of brands through staff and customer
interactions, and how to link brands to selling styles and messages.
