(PRWEB) May 31, 2008 -- Planet Tan, home of Dallas/Fort Worth's premier tanning super centers, and the most respected brand in the industry, announced today that Founder and CEO, Tony Hartl, will be featured on the cover of the June issue of Fortune Small Business Magazine.
Hartl was interviewed for the cover story about his experience and success with customer service metrics. In November 2007, Planet Tan adopted a new method of gauging customer service using a Net Promoter® Score (NPS). The NPS score represents the proportion of customers who are promoters minus the detractors (P-D = NPS). It is a simple formula that measures customer satisfaction and referrals and can substantially increase revenue and growth. An avid reader, Hartl learned about NPS by reading The Ultimate Question by Fred Reichheld.
"The success of our salons depends predominately on the customer experience," said Hartl. "Finding that service edge which will be the differentiator between our stores and the competitor down the street is especially important in today's economy. In the first quarter of 2008, same-store sales have increased by 15% as a result of concentrating on survey feedback and addressing the customer's needs," said Hartl.
