    Uplifting Service offers an action-oriented, and realistic app

    Uplifting Service offers an action-oriented, and realistic approach to customer service. It is the type of learning that will improve not only customer relationships, but the relationship between employees.

    I enjoyed the personal view Ron takes on service, and the examples he shares from his own life. Who knew Frisbees could lead to such a great adventure?

    The book is easy to read, and comprehend, and the ideas are immediately applicable. You won't view the idea of pleasing customers the same after reading this!

    A great look at how to please customers, and create a positive business culture through service! I was impressed at how much energy and insight Ron brings to this subject. The most inspiring aspect of the book is his ability to see what people are truly capable of, and to use this gift to create a dynamic customer service plan. Among other points, he takes a close look at why leaders must be responsible for the energy of the group they lead to ensure the direction they are headed in. Excellent reading for any business leader!

    Paramount to Education

    Uplifting Service is a “must read” for every parent, aspiring teacher, classroom teacher, school principal, and district superintendent who cares about creating school communities that uplift their children, families, and employees.

    Ron Kaufman’s work is paramount to transforming the way we think about our Public Service of Education in America. K-12 educational system needs to recognize that studying and teaching ‘service’ is key to everyone’s success and our collective future.

    “Service is your dedication to caring about other people, secure in the knowledge that you get more for yourself when you create for others what they appreciate, respect, and value”. ~Ron Kaufman

Ron does an excellent job of showing how much service impacts us every step of the way, from birth till death.

    No matter what line of business you're in, if you interact with

    No matter what line of business you're in, if you interact with people, this book could have an enormous impact on how you view service. Mr. Kaufman hits the nail on the head with this enlightening read about the true meaning of service, and how to integrate these beliefs into the culture of any business.

    When it comes to books on customer service, this is one of the best I've ever read because of the way it includes the human element, and not just some step-by-step guide to keeping customers happy. Read it, and share it!

    I enjoyed this book not only for its business sense, but for its realistic, and sincere look at human nature, and what we can accomplish when we are in the right frame of mind! Beyond simply good customer service, Ron presents a plan that will completely change the way your company views service and its role within the organization as well as with the customer. Highly recommend!

    I have been following Ron Kaufman for years. Like a great story

    I have been following Ron Kaufman for years. Like a great storyteller, Ron takes a deep subject - that of service - and presents it in a way that is easy to read, to comprehend, and put into action. Who should read this book? Anyone. Service is not just for employees who deal with customers. Service is for you and me, and the way we treat others... the way we communicate... the desire to provide value to another person. Service can be brought to your relationships, your community, your work.

    The book is an easy weekend read, but it will give you plenty to think about for weeks (or longer!) afterwords....
