Part II of III series by Marty Pickering titled, "The Rise and Fall of Customer
Service." It should come as no surprise to our readers, that in the recent
recessionary period (past 12 months or so), that some giants of industry, finance, automotive and retail have been brought
to their knees financially. This decimation has taken large and small companies alike with little regard

affected, “Our home” and see if it possibly made a difference? This month I give some insight
to resources you can use to protect yourself (before the purchase). To read complete Part II....... click here.... To access part I of III (published last month), click here.
