Hi! I’m Chris.

Hey there, fellow service enthusiasts!

I’m excited to announce the launch of my very own blog, ChrisVassiliou.com. It’s a place where I can finally spill the beans on my wild and wonderful journey through the customer service industry spanning over 35 glorious years. From the glitz and glamor of hospitality to the retail rollercoaster, and even a surprising stint as a professional ballroom dance instructor (yep, you read that right!), I’ve had the pleasure of serving and interacting with customers from all walks of life.

Buckle up, folks, ’cause we’re about to embark on a ride that’ll open your eyes to the joys and challenges of customer service. Trust me, it’s a wild world out there, but armed with my tried-and-true framework, we’ll conquer any customer-related conundrum together!

A Foundation of Connections:

You know, customer service isn’t just about making sales or answering inquiries; it’s about forging genuine connections that make people’s hearts skip a beat. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand the magic that happens when you go the extra mile, transforming ordinary interactions into extraordinary experiences. Whether it was creating a dream-like stay at a luxury hotel, guiding shoppers through retail therapy, or twirling across the dance floor teaching folks to dance like nobody’s watching, my mantra has always been to deliver service with a genuine smile.

Weathering Storms and Smoothing Ripples:

But hey, let’s not forget the storms that occasionally brew in the customer service teacup. Conflict, complaints, and challenging moments are part and parcel of this vibrant world. Don’t worry though—I’ve got your back. I’ve weathered more storms than a sailor, and I’ve learned a thing or two about turning customer service conflicts into valuable opportunities. Get ready to dive into my treasure trove of practical strategies and tips that’ll help you sail smoothly through choppy waters, leaving customers happy and your business thriving.
