We need to be understood
Inspirations - 12
• 60% of thoughts are self-directed. My goals. My problems. My feelings.
• Another 30% are directed towards relationships, but how they affect me. How will boss evaluate my performance in the next review? Do my friends like me or see me as irritating?
• Only 10% in this model is time spent in empathy

Moment of Truth
• What is moment of truth?
• In customer service, instance of contact or interaction between a customer and a firm (through a product, sales force, or visit) that gives the customer an opportunity to form (or change) an impression about the firm.
Why is it important?
• What's regularly missing, in our experience, is the spark between the customer and frontline staff members—the spark that helps transform wary or skeptical people into strong and committed brand followers.
Why is it important?
• That spark and the emotionally driven behavior .
• That creates it explain how great customer service companies earn trust and loyalty during "moments of truth": those few interactions (for instance, a lost credit card, a canceled flight, a damaged piece of clothing, or investment advice)
Why is it important?
• when customers invest a high amount of emotional energy in the outcome. Superb handling of these moments requires an instinctive frontline response that puts the customer's emotional needs ahead of the company's and the employee's agendas.
