If You’re Focused, It’s Not that Hard to Help a Customer |

Banking used to be customer-focused and highly relational. But David Segal, as The New York Times’ Haggler, provides an example of how some folks at Bank of America let process and procedure, if not their own laxity, get in the way of good, relational customer service.
Good public relations has to do with focus — focus continually on the customer. If procedures or laxity get in the way, a relational setting becomes dismal. Like any other business, banks should understand that.
