[TenTec] Surprise from Heil

[Mike Gorniak]

Hi Jim,

Mr. Heil is demonstrating his knowledge of Good Business Practice.

It has been shown, through extensive research, that a customer who has a 
problem that is resolved graciously by a company becomes more positive and 
more loyal to that company than if there was no problem in the first place...

In other words, customer's problems are opportunities for companies to 
enhance their relationships and gain greater loyalty from their 
customers!  As a bonus, the now happy customer tells his / her 
acquaintances about the positive experience that he / she has had, which in 
turn, generates more customers for the company.

Actually, this is one of the concepts that made me invest in a Ten Tec Orion.

Sadly, too many companies do not understand this principle, or choose not 
to act on it if they do.

Mr. Heil and Ten Tec are both to be commended for their Customer Service.


73,
