Ritz-Carlton’s customer service policies worth repeating

April 30, 2008 | Hospitality Industry

When it comes to legendary customer service, Ritz-Carlton has proved that in the long run, service is truly what people want and what will bring them back as a customer. Yet, it is the exception and not the norm to receive wonderful customer service in today's environment.

The formula has 20 basics in all, and every employee is expected to practice them constantly.
