OUR VISION
We intend to be the recognized leader in service excellence among all
companies—not just elevator companies—worldwide. We will inspire our
customers’ total confidence through exceptional service that earns us 100
percent of their business, 100 percent of the time.
Service excellence is more than what we provide, it’s how we think and
act. It’s not just “fixing a problem” or performing routine maintenance, it’s the
“smile” in the voice on the phone, the prompt response to a request and the
drive to always improve. It’s how we work with one another and how we work
with our customers and the riding public.
We believe that service excellence begins with each employee’s commitment to
improve the things—no matter how small—that are in their control. By keeping
an “at your service” attitude and striving to exceed our customers’ and each
other’s expectations, we are working hard to become a benchmark for superior
service—not just for elevator companies, but for all companies worldwide.

The Service Encounter and
Satisfaction
Coping (with difficult customers):
Example of satisfying incident:
“A person who became intoxicated on a flight started
speaking loudly, annoying the other passengers. The flight
attendant asked the passenger if he would be driving when
the plane landed and offered him coffee. He accepted the
coffee and became quieter and friendlier.”
Example of dissatisfying incident:
“An intoxicated man began pinching the female flight
attendants. One attendant told him to stop, but he continued
and then hit another passenger. The copilot was called and
asked the man to sit down and leave the others alone, but
the passenger refused. The copilot then “decked” the man,
knocking him into his seat.”
