Every Interaction Is A Moment Of Truth
- Reputation is built from countless small 'moments of truth' across every interaction with clients.
- Kevin Comerford and Ray Dias stress that trucks, uniforms, driving, and demeanor all shape public perception.
Manage Vehicle And Uniform Signals
- Keep trucks clean, drive courteously, and present equipment professionally to signal trustworthiness.
- Train teams to manage public behavior because vehicle and uniform cues act like a moving billboard.
Remove Distracting Visuals At The Front Door
