			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Often, how you say something is as important as what you actually say. Here area few tips for conveying information in a positive manner:</p>
<p><span id="more-67"></span>1. First impresions are very important; make sure you come across as being awake, lively and ready to help. A smile can change your whole tone.</p>
<p>2. &#8220;Delighting&#8221; customers may sound extreme, but this philosophy goes a long way toward s customer satisfaction. It doesn&#8217;t mean going overboard by pouring on the sugary-sweet, it just means we&#8217;re not content to strive towards simply satisfying our customers.</p>
<p>3. Charm the customers. Use your natural charisma to win them over. Setting the tone at the beginning of the interaction can help later if it&#8217;s necessary to deliver bad news.</p>
<p>4. We should never tell a customer what to do. Our job is to offer them options we offer and let them make a choice.</p>
<p>5. Enunciate clearly while on the phone. Customers will have a much better experience if we make sure to speak clearly. Phone communications can often be frustrating because of static or background noise; don&#8217;t make it worse by mumbling. Clearly enunciating also gives the customer more confidence in resolving their issue.</p>
<p>6. After providing remarkable customer service, don&#8217;t fizzle out at the end of the interaction. Surprise the customer with an &#8220;ending booster&#8221;.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">When everything&#8217;s not going your way. Take a deep breath, smile away  - because you know everything is going to be alright&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-58"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">She grew up with the children of the stars<br />
In the Hollywood Hills and the Boulevard<br />
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there<br />
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, &amp; Bob Seger, &amp; Sonny &amp; Cher</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And she felt safe now in this bar in fairfax<br />
And from these days I can tell that she can&#8217;t let go and she can&#8217;t relax<br />
And just before she hangs her head to cry<br />
I sing to her a lullaby</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I said everything&#8217;s gonna be alright<br />
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye<br />
Everything&#8217;s gonna be alright<br />
Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye, Rock-a-bye</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And she still lives with her mom outside the city<br />
Down that street about a half a mile<br />
And all her friends tell her she&#8217;s so pretty<br />
And she&#8217;d be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while<br />
&#8216;Cause even her smile looks like a frown<br />
And she&#8217;s seen her share of Devils in this Angel town</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(Chorus)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(Instrumental)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I told her I ain&#8217;t so sure about this place<br />
It&#8217;s hard to play a gig in this town, and keep a straight face<br />
And it seems like everybodys got a plan<br />
It&#8217;s kinda like Nashville with a tan</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>(Chorus 2x)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;&#8230;bye&#8230;.bye&#8230;.bye&#8230;.bye</p>
