When this new program rolled out in our area I went to a local store to pick up some stuff and was mobbed by a greeter gang...which was a bit much (the program was new and they weren't sure how to go about it I think)...I emailed the Store manager about it, and when I went back in there a few weeks later the program was much smoother..one very pleasant greeter and associates actively seeking out customers all around the main aisles of the store and very enthusiastic...I am a customer service freak so I am really happy the company is heading back to that.  It was just plain embarrasing that we scored lower than Walmart in some surveys the past few years.  Looking forward to seeing that change!

Home Depot in the last 3 months has rolled out a new program called "customers first"  look around the store, every employee will be wearing a badge on their apron that says "Yes! Customer's First I am Empowered"  Home Depot is working very hard to go back to their old ways of taking care of the customer.  Arthur, and Bernie, the original founders always said "take care of the customer and the rest takes care of itself"  We are going back to this, not because of the economy, but because Home Depot has a better CEO, and wants to be what it used to be.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2000211458785331212/1965830078700978830/comments/default/7860451481420210992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2000211458785331212/1965830078700978830/comments/default/7860451481420210992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.marketingfinanceobama.com/2009/03/home-depot-new-nordstroms-of-customer.html?showComment=1237278180000#c7860451481420210992' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.marketingfinanceobama.com/2009/03/home-depot-new-nordstroms-of-customer.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000211458785331212.post-1965830078700978830' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2000211458785331212/posts/default/1965830078700978830' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000211458785331212.post-9162322491982435284</id><published>2009-03-13T15:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T15:51:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I came across your blog just playing around.

Customer service is becoming more of an area of focus since the new CEO has arrived.
