'October 2014 was not the best day to be a shareholder of two of the world’s retail giants. Tesco continued their unfortunate journey from world domination to public implosion. The company who convinced the UK and beyond that ‘every little helps’ are going to need all the help they can get to fight through their greatest ever crisis.

'Is it possible to be TOO nice as a Customer Service Rep? Can being TOO nice scare people off? A client of mine asked this question of me yesterday during a workshop and it gave everyone pause for thought. My response…. Yes and No. I know, I sound all “lawyer-y”, but it really is true.
