Frank Mocerino, founder of The Ohm Store, joins the Undercurrent Podcast to share his insights on truly effective customer service. He describes why his company has a 100% satisfaction guarantee that includes a no-time-limit return policy, why a Nordstrom employee once refunded a customer for a tire (which the customer obviously purchased from a different store -- yes, it's true), and why these examples are really just about treating customers like people and may not be such radical ideas after all.
