    Last week I had the opportunity to

    The first night I had dinner at the Centennial Caf? Restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. The food was good and the service, I mean the se

    It was a slow night and Abdul was covering one half of the tables in the restaurant. Here are some of my observations:

    I went back to the same re

    Abdul approached the hostess and spotted me. He sa

    Service can be awesome or dreadful - and it's usually people who make the difference.

    The reward for good service is more business. The reward for superior service is even more business. It should also be noted that "Profitability is the applause

    As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

    People who go out of their way to help and serve their cu

    Companies that provide selfless information through particip

    One of the keys to successful selling is to help your customers get what they want.

    Obviously, Abdul has that figured out
