It is when you leave a call, a meeting or an interaction and feel that you were not just a number, not just a pawn in a pre-defined process, or part of a pre-defined business rule.

It is when you feel as though you were treated as though your interaction was unique to you. It is the feeling that the person you interacted with generally cared more about you, your situation and ultimately making you happy without revealing that they were potentially following any pre-established norm or rule.

Geico, American Honda and American Express come to mind as companies that are excellent at customer service. US based airlines are an example of an industry that simply does not understand or value customer service.
