More About The Book
UpSolutions includes strategies for seizing the unlimited opportunity that’s already at your fingertips. My goal is to turn your team into brand ambassadors for your business and heroes to your customers and to turn your customers into raving fans.
• understand how to define your business by solutions, not product or service sales;
• create your own marketplace by clearly differentiating what you do;
• engage your employees with tools to make a difference;
• add to your value for customers through your relationships with them;
• create raving fans by going beyond service to solutions;
• focus on the value your business already has (that you may be taking for granted);
• maintain your customer focus through “educated observation”; and
• see significant improvements in profits, customer engagement and loyalty, and team buy-in and retention.

Her UpSolutions process is easy to understand and implement, and is based on years of experience working with business owners and teams.

-Shawn Shepeard,
This book is an easy, and still very educative and inspiring reading - not only for retail business owners. It navigates you to look at your daily customer interaction routines from another perspective. It's not the one current transaction that matters, but the whole impression you leave that may or may not turn your customers into raving fans.
