I was just thinking about the issue of customer service recently. I had a bad experience back at Christmas when I paid extra to get a some gifts mailed out fast, and then found out that the company didn’t get mail out my gifts until four days after the order was received by the company. This was right before Christmas. Yikes!
When I finally called the company, their answer was “Well, we are really busy!” Hey, bet you won’t be busy next Christmas! (Can’t slam UPS, they did their part on time.)
So guess what I did when said company sent me (in January) a coupon for 40 % off—yes, you guessed it, if I sent them another order! Fat chance! Delete!
It’s all about customer service!
Now, if you are in the LA area, and are considering having your carpets cleaned, how about this guarantee— Quality Carpet Cleaning mails a survey to their customers after each job asking, “…anything that could have been improved?”, “What did you like most about Quality Carpet Cleaning?”, and so forth. And then they back it up with a 30 day money-back guarantee.
These people might just give Zappos a run for their money. : )

Real estate is a good way to secure a future for yourself and your family. Can real estate make your child’s future secure? It’s one of the easiest ways to make your child’s future secure.

Keeping everything in tiptop shape will guarantee something for your children later, whether it’s the income from the rental property or a home of their own from among the rental properties you have.
Real estate investments of any kind are good investments for the future of your family – rental property, personal residence, or the purchase of real estate you fix up and resell. Of course, the latter is not much of an investment in your child’s future except in a monetary sense, meaning you can put that money aside into a trust fund for the children to access later.
