offers an innovative research-based approach to one of the toughest challenges facing sales and services companies today: how to effectively manage the employee-customer encounter to drive business success.

is based on five rules to bring excellence to how employees engage and interact with customers:
RULE #1:
E Pluribus Unum. Employee and customer experiences must be managed together — not as separate entities.
RULE #2:
Feelings Are Facts. Emotions drive and shape the employee-customer encounter.
RULE #3:
Think Globally, Measure and Act Locally. The employee-customer encounter must be measured and managed at the local level.
RULE #4:
There Is One Number You Need to Know. Employee and customer engagement interact to drive enhanced financial performance. And this interaction can be quantified and summarized with a single performance metric.
RULE #5:
If You Pray for Potatoes, You Better Grab a Hoe. Good intentions alone do not constitute a plan of action. Sustainable improvement in the employee-customer encounter requires disciplined local action coupled with a companywide commitment to changing how employees are recruited, positioned in roles, rewarded and recognized, and importantly, how they are managed.
