the
following
customer

All customers are given Grace (favor
whether they deserve it or not).

Anticipatory service closes the gap in
under met and un-met customer needs.

We want to WOW our customers. To WOW, Hometown must differentiate itself, which
means doing something perhaps unconventional and innovative, above and beyond what's
expected in order to have an emotional impact on the customer. Hometown is not an
average company, so their service is not average, and they don't want their people to be
average. The expectation is that every employee delivers WOW.
