Passionate About Customer Service Because:

It’s easy to forget that your customers pay your salary. They give you raises, and help you get promoted, but if they’re unhappy and churn they’re essentially firing you. Supporting them well requires developing empathy for their experience with your product. Done well, that empathy builds trust, which allows you to build a lasting relationship.

Stew is most likely playing with his daughter at the pool, perfecting his barbeque skills, or frustrating himself on the golf course.
