Based on Ludy’s experience at a resort in Aruba, No Lizards in My Shoes tells the story of Larry, a lazy lizard living at the resort, and the older, wiser Lizard Wizard who teaches Larry the secrets of improving customer service based on the initiative of individual employees. The wizard takes Larry on a journey through time to explore and observe the development of customer service dating back to the Stone Age. As a result, Larry is transformed into the new Lizard Wizard of Customer Service as the sage wizard passes away. The moral of the story is that individual employees can be empowered to become “Lizard Wizards of Customer Service” in their own companies or organizations based on the concepts in the book.
No Lizard in My Shoes introduces GEMS (Great Employees Managing Service) and TIPS (Targeted Incentive Pay Scenarios). Companies that implement these innovative concepts experience dramatic improvements in customer service by putting in place an ongoing rewards program for employees who step up their efforts.
