When you recall the very best customer experience you ever had, you can't help but think to yourself, "How would I have done it even better?" That's because you're the kind of person who believes that even if you go above and beyond, there's always room to go a little higher and a little further. You have a passion for service excellence and helping others, and get a personal thrill out of brightening someone's day on the other end of the telephone with your friendly voice.
