Q. Your new book Why The Customer Is Not Always Right is now available on Amazon. Please tell us about your wonderful book!

A: Are you in a business that thinks the customer is always right?

Do you have to deal with unruly customers who are never satisfied?

Is it time to rethink what you always believed?

The customer is always right. You will hear those words all the time, particularly if you work in a business within the service industry with face-to-face customers. This concept has been in existence for so long, that it has become ingrained, and it is often repeated without any real understanding of what it actually entails. But today, it’s wrong.

This book, Why The Customer is NOT Always Right, has been written from a wealth of experience in dealing with poorly behaved customers, and it offers insights into:

*How to reduce your interactions with bad customers
*Techniques for removing bad customers before they even set foot inside your *business
*Looking after the mental well-being of your staff
*Being prepared to say goodbye to the bad customers
*Determining your valuable customers and looking after them
*Spotting troublemakers
*And much more…

The days of the customer being right in every situation are long gone and ridding yourself of the bad ones who cause you grief will actually help your business thrive in the long run and you gain better customers as a result.

It’s time to change the way you think about the people you serve!

Q. What inspired you to write this book?

A: My name is Adam Evans, a bar, restaurant, and Nightclub operator for the last 20 years in Florida. I pride myself on giving the best customer service to my guests and teaching my staff how to overcome all obstacles. This book gives insight into dealing with, and recognizing problem customers long before they snowball into major situations. Plus, some tips on how to keep them from coming back.

Pablo (The Barfather) Foster’s life is spent spreading bartender knowledge. He has taught thousands of bartenders in Tampa over the last many years. He is an amazing bartender, trainer, and friend.

Unfortunately, he is currently suffering the side effects of a stroke. Him and I do not spend time together these days and that is my fault. Life moves so fast but I want Pablo to know that we think about you often and the positive impact you have had on me and my staff.

Pablo’s desire to share what he knows with the world is inspiring. His passion to teach his craft helped inspire me to do some of the same.
