Director of Public Affairs, Petland
"Jay nailed it! In this day and age, manners have been lost and customer service is not a priority for many businesses. Jay hilariously demonstrates how important it is to "hug your haters" and respond to customer feedback, even if you can't fix it. You have to listen and you have to be empathetic. It's a lesson that applies not only to your business, but also to your own relationships. His stories and humor helped drive the message home and we look forward to having him back."
