Getting your team to care about customer service

After a pretty rough experience at Lenscrafters, Lia gets into one of the most common challenges small business owners face: how do you get your team to actually show up for customers when you can't force anyone to care? This episode is for anyone with customer-facing team members — or honestly any team member whose attitude and engagement reflects on your brand. In this episode you will learn: Why getting this right starts in the hiring and onboarding process, not after things go wrongWhat follow-up actually looks like when you can't chase every little thing downHow to flip the script so your team is proactively owning their performance instead of waiting to be correctedWhy recognition is one of the most powerful and underused tools for shifting team cultureWhat to do when someone has a "can't do anything about it" attitude and you're weighing your optionsResources mentioned: Free Snippets Tool: liagarvin.com/snippets VLg6MOdAoye2XrCUmtTG Download my FREE guide to making hard conversations with your team easier at liagarvin.com/convo Looking for support for yourself of your team?
