Welcome to the "better late than never" edition of the Customer Service Carnivale. I apologize for the late posting as I was working on a client project that took up most of the day. Thanks for your patience!

This edition features what I thought were the best submissions that offered genuine customer service tips or stories. Also, as a reminder, any previous stories that have been published in a previous carnivale will not be posted again.

So, without further ado...

• I love this great story Traci Hayner Vanover's shares: Now Hear This: Happy Customers = Evangelists.

• This one will make you laugh, 13 Signs That You Don't Want To Eat There, and this one will make you appreciate what servers do, When The Flowers Dry, posted at So You Want To Be a Banquet Manager....

• I'm not really sure if I agree with this post - what are your thoughts? Is total control the no 1 must have quality for great leadership?

• I like the tips offered here: Customer Service- Dealing with the Difficult Customer posted at Changing the Outlook on Customer Service.

• The characteristics offered in this post can actually be applied to any business: Things That Make a Trade Show Rental Service a Quality One

• Wally Bock shares Community is a Characteristic of a Great Working Environment. A great work environment creates happy workers mean happy customers!
