New Year's Message From CHTA President

Customer Service Tip

When done well, service is honorable and timely and gracious and uplifting and authentic and warm and genuine. Just think about the best service you ever received. How did it make you feel? It probably brightened your day. It probably made you smile. You most likely told other people about it. That’s true service. Where does service start? With having a desire to care for others because you view them as worthy of your best. (Bryan Williams)
