Regular readers may recall that I often contribute content to Carol Roth’s popular e-publications. She’s a nationally known PR and Entrepreneurship expert, speaker and author … and, apparently, a fan of my writing.

‘ The Complaint Paradox
Until tested, the concept of ‘excellent customer service’ is just a vague philosophical theory, an ideal expectation, a paradox… or a hype.

Thanks again Carol Roth for the great exposure and for being a fan.
