Some of the most successful brands in any industry have a service orientation. The height of service is often called “white glove service,” a term that is catching on in many places. But just what is white glove service?

We take a serious look at this question and more in our latest report, “White Glove Service: 9 Case Studies That Reveal the Keys to Building True Customer-Oriented Organizations.” Our own Dave Dobrow referenced some of these examples during his participation at the 2017 Direct to Consumer Wine Symposium Private Client Sales – The Art of White Glove Service.

In this report (which is available for download here), we take a close look at companies that are knocking it out of the park when it comes to service—and doing so in a systematic way.  

For example:

• We look at why Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh consciously wanted to build an excellent customer service culture, and how he did it.
• We investigate why MidwayUSA, a small Midwest company catering to sportsmen, has repeatedly won awards for service standards.
• We take a page from Four Seasons Hotels And Resorts with regard to their employee training for excellent service.
• We look at the ways in which companies like Trader Joe’s and MINI have used proactive measures, winning them die-hard fans.
• We comb through other examples as well, from State Farm Insurance, Chick-fil-A, Electronic Arts, Spotify, and more.

Throughout, we find a common pattern: White glove service is not just something that happens randomly with the occasionally stellar front-line employee. Rather, white glove service is a pattern of decisions and practices by organizations that routinely and consistently make this level of customer care possible.
