You could have contacted the company in a multitude of ways — chat, text, social media, or even an “old-fashioned” telephone call. No matter how you may have reached out, one thing is likely to be true — you weren’t calling to tell the company how pleased you were with the product.

How do you take notes in a training class? It was a fun trick I discovered as a new trainer. I usually got it right to the mild amusement of my learners.
