Manager of Library Operations Meeting Minutes for October 2007

Denyvetta introduced Mike James of Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and invited everyone to introduce themselves to Mike.

Mike James stated he was proud to have the opportunity to speak with MLS managers. He gave a brief history of Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company and indicated they started a customer service scoring program about eight years ago.

Enterprise hired an outside company out of St. Louis, MO., to randomly contact customers and inquire how satisfied they were with the service received from Enterprise, what the company can do to better serve the customer and if the customer prefers a followup call from a representative of the company.

Mike shared that Enterprise has what they call a top box mentality, meaning the only thing that counts is for customers to be completely satisfied. Enterprise has a service quality index of 97% in customer service.

Email from Phil Tolbert at CH Library regarding bundling reserves on possibility of more training in bundling due to some system reserves being poorly bundled.

Books should be bundled with books and DVD’s with DVD’s etc.
