“Case Studies are the single most powerful weapon in a leader’s arsenal.
Howard Gardner, Harvard University

Customer Success Stories are a great way to let your buyers know how happy your customers are with your products and/or services. These are also known as Case Studies.

The photo above is from the Recognition of Service Excellence (Rose) Awards that are held each year by the North Florida Hotel and Lodging Association to recognize front line hospitality employees who show excellence in customer service.  In order for these men and women to qualify, they have to show commitment to create an extraordinary experience for their visitors.  

This leads to what a customer success story is all about; interviewing your “Happy” customers and telling how your business solved a specific problem for them.

Once a customer success story is written, there are at least 9 Ways to Use these stories. One way, in the example above is to write a news story such as the one below.
