According to a survey done by Careerbuilder.com and Aol.com, the top five skills hiring managers say will be most critical to their businesses and most attractive in potential candidates in 2006 are:

• Customer service,
• Critical-thinking (problem-solving and decision- making),
• Technology proficiency,
• Ability to improve productivity,
• and Team-building and motivation.

These are all fairly, constant timeless skills that tend not to go away. I have noticed that customer service is a big one, not only for individuals, but also companies. You can have two companies with similar technical proficiency and a similiar product, but the one with the better customer service wins everytime.

This lines up with the wisdom of the scriptures. Jesus said:

"The greatest among you will be your servant." Matthew 23:11

Jesus, the Master Carpenter, preached "customer service", over 2,000 years ago. The message just won't go away. :)

I believe spirit behind the message is: when you "sow success" into other peoples lives you will reap success. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.

How's you're customers service? To your employeer? To your family? To your employees? To those in your sphere of influence?

Do you desire greatness?

The seeds of greatness are in you.

I believe as you sow good seeds into other people's lives and you will begin to see greatness manifest in your own life.

Customer service tends to be one of those "rubber hits the road issues", however it's one of the door to greatness...and it will give you that added edge that distinguishes from other "companies".

You are the best.
