There are particularly two reasons to celebrate today. First, CustServ is up and is slowly getting back on its feet. Second, SOB’s 2nd-year SOB anniversary party hosted by Liz Strauss was very successful.

Over six hundred people came to celebrate and so by this number alone, I believe that SOBs are really successful and outstanding. Up until today, there are still people dropping by and leaving their greetings.

What is a Successful and Outstanding Blog(ger)s to me (as I’ve also learned from being an SOB)?

Being successful and outstanding do not necessarily point to the number of hits your page gets. Rather, it’s about the extent of your impact on people’s lives. It’s about being able to touch them, inspire them, being like a family to them.

Because of SOB, and my fellow customer service bloggers, I strive hard to blog better and be an inspiration to others, the same way that they have been to me. Being an SOB and a customer service blogger, I also want to wield an enormous influence on companies and inspire them to build meaningful customer relationships.

I would also want that same influence on customers to demand exceptional service every time, and at the same time help companies provide that kind of service to them.

The road is long and bumpy at times, but with everyone’s help, I know we can make a difference.

Again, congratulations, Liz and fellow SOBs!
