From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and revenue. From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. One good customer service experience can change the entire perception a customer holds towards the organization.

  • McKesson (Mentioned in 3.6% Job Postings): McKesson is one of the largest providers of medicines, pharmaceutical supplies and health information technology. The company delivers a third of all pharmaceuticals used in North America and employs over 78,000 employees.
