successful business strategies in action, learn customer service
skills and get great ideas you can use in your business when we visit
these outstanding businesses and organizations: |

Marathon Homes
Mickey & Deloris Murry
Customer service is the secret to the home building success
enjoyed at Marathon Homes. Following a proven and unique model
for home building, they are able to manage 30 homes under
construction at the same time. One look in at the model home
will cause a home buyer’s “rush” that is hard to resist. |

Government Offices
Tulsa County Land Offices
Pat Key
The word “efficiency” and “government” are not normally used in
the same sentence, but for Pat Key and her employees it is
expected. The concept of viewing the tax payer as the
“customer” and running the government office as a well oiled
machine has become routine for this office and a showcase for
other cities and countries to observe. |

differently and the employees are a part of the team. |
