John C. Maxwell Quote

This poster in a Nordstrom’s department store once caught my attention: The only difference between stores is the way they treat their customers. That’s a bold statement. Most stores would advertise the quality of their merchandise or their wide selection as what sets them apart from the rest. The difference between Nordstrom’s and other stores, according to an employee of the competition, is that other stores are organization-oriented; Nordstrom’s is people-oriented. Their employees are trained to respond quickly and kindly to customer complaints. As a result, according to writer Nancy Austin, Nordstrom’s doesn’t have customers; it has fans.
