Continental’s 2018 State of the Company event focused on three words: Raise the Bar. This new-found mantra has since served as an inspirational tool for Continental team members which encourages breaking through barriers to push forward in order to continuously learn, improve, and grow.
What is the definition of excellent customer service? Good customer service, in short, means making sure that the customer is happy. Excellent customer service to Continental, means going above and beyond, ensuring that the customer or client is satisfied in every aspect with the product and service provided, with the sales, delivery, and overall appearance of the product. What Continental will never do, is draw the line at good customer service; we strive for excellence.
