We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Jaffee Judah . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Jaffee below.
Jaffee, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Taking care of customers isn’t just good business – it is often one of the main reasons folks went into business in the first place. So, we’d love to get a conversation going around how to best help clients feel appreciated – maybe you can share something you’ve done or seen someone do that’s been really effective at helping a customer feel valued?
Wow!
That’s a hard question hmmm. I think passing out $250 cash envelopes to 10 families who suffered injury or damages during the Tornado disaster in 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee.
My organization Recycle And Reinvest fed over 100 families in the Dodge City Project in North Nashville.
