The History of AT&T
AT&T's roots stretch back to 1875, with founder Alexander Graham
Bell's invention of the telephone During the 19th century, AT&T became the parent company of the
Bell System, the American telephone monopoly. The Bell System provided what was by all accounts the best
telephone service in the world.The system broke up into eight companies in 1984 by agreement
between AT&T and the U.S. Department of Justice.
From 1984 until 1996 AT&T was an integrated telecommunications services and equipment company,
succeeding in a newly competitive environment. Today, AT&T is a global networking leader, solutions to
enterprise and government customers. Additionally, as AT&T pivots away from traditional consumer services, the company
continues to offer consumers and small businesses a breakthrough alternative to traditional services .

Lost Customers = Lost Jobs!Customer Service Core Competencies
THE ULTIMATE GOAL...
We all encounter substandard service regularly, and much of that poor service is because of poor attitudes and inappropriate behaviors of employees. Companies make business decisions with not enough thought put into how it will impact their customers. Satisfactory service is a commodity, a raw material, not the key differentiator between competing companies. Only consistently exceptional service separates one business for another.
Gaining a Focus on Service Importance
Positive Word of Mouth
Logically it makes sense to focus on satisfying the customers you already have. Personal recommendations of
other people have the most impact on what and where people do their shopping
The Impact of Negative Word of Mouth
Substandard customer service continues to damage companies. With todays social networks, e-mail, and blogs, poor service experiences are quickly posted. Broadcasting their bad service experiences spreads through out cyberspace where everyone can see.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL...
