'The customer is always right"... "service is our # 1 priority"... "business is great, but I don't know where they're all coming from." These are all examples of philosophies and business practices that can sink a business...quickly.

Are you living with a false sense of security or do you KNOW how well your service stacks up against your own expectations as well as the service your competition is providing?

Do you KNOW if your staff is responding in a timely and effective manner to resolve your customer's issues?

In today's business climate, long term success is all about service. Exceptional customer service turns casual customers into clients, the key to every organization's long-term success. The only way to achieve growth and success is to have a team of players that all have the know-how, confidence and permission to get the job done, and done right the first time.

• Does your team live up to your corporate philosophy / slogan...EVERY day?
• Is it easy and fun to do business with you?
• Is every interaction with your staff memorable...in a positive way?
• Is your staff trained, and encouraged, to do whatever it takes or are simply able to recite the 'company policy' song?

Whether you're in a corporate, service or retail setting, it is imperative that you, either personally or though outside help, continually assess the strengths and weaknesses of your customer service practices and develop a specific strategy to find issues and correct them...quickly.

I recommend that every business develop an internal program that involves a variety of actions: conducting 'mystery shopper' evaluations, interacting with your front line people, requesting information and testing for timeliness and accuracy of the response, asking 'what if' service questions, placing a telephone, fax or email order, attempting a product return and more.

Once you've completed this process, which should be done on different days and times to make sure that you get a true sampling of your business in action, you'll be able to identify issues with your existing customer service program and then be able to develop a specifically targeted plan to correct them.

Be prepared to follow-up with staff in-service training designed to help your staff enhance your client's experience and help you kick your competition's 'butt' with consistently improving levels of customer service.

If you want to dominate your niche, teach your team to deliver kick BUTT Service that will clobber the competition.

B-Band Ukko-K Single Kick Drum Contact Microphone $99.99 The B-Band UKKO-K kick drum contact mic system is a remarkable way to capture the true tonality of your kick drum consistently, conveniently, and with extreme isolation. This system consists of two important components: the UKKO DMK preamp, built with high-quality class-A electronics, and the UKKO DST1 Contact mic for superb tone. This system will work with any size kick drum, and gives you high-resolution sound, and easy setup!This mic system was designed to be able to blend-in visually with the drum kit. That is why B-Band designed the DMK preamp to be chrome colored to match most drum hardware. It is an extremely lightweight system that does not add any noticeable weight to the drum, or get in the way while performing like most other drum mic systems. It also very robust and durable, and will endure rigorous touring.Setting up and tearing down have never been this easy. The DST1 has an adhesive back that mounts easily and discreetly on the inside of the drum shell near the batter head. The DST1 lead wire is fed through the drum air hole to the DMK preamp. The preamp mounts in the air hole outside of the drum, and was specially designed to not interrupt the flow of air as the drum breathes. Being as the DMK preamp is so small in size, there is no need to remove it to put the drum in its case, leave it on and be ready for the next gig or studio session. To better capture the low frequencies of the kick drum there are two mini switches inside the DMK preamp that contour the sound for a choice of tone. One switch controls a -6dB mid cut at 330 Hz and the other is for a +6dB high boost at 5 kHz.If you have a hole cut on your resonant head or if there is no resonant head on your kick drum, this will make the UKKO-K sound thinner. It is recommended to have a solid resonant head for maximum tonal quality.Extreme isolation of each drum with no bleed from other drumsMounts without modification to the drumReduces the need for audio gate effectsUltra-quick setupsNo need to position mics or mic stands; just plug a standard XLR cable into the preamp and playClean looks without the clutter of mic stands
