Grand European Tours Dedicated Sales Rep Saves a Life

PORTLAND, Ore., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand European Tours reveals how its well-trained staff takes a personal interest in helping customers plan their trips - and this dedication may have helped save a life. During a recent customer service call one staff member helped save the life of a caller who encountered a medical problem while on the phone. Dedication to customer service and building relationships with customers is what sets Grand European Tours apart from its competitors.

Recently, Steven Frazee, a travel specialist at Grand European Tours, was assisting a client plan her tour by phone when the client suddenly indicated that she wasn't feeling well. When she could no longer communicate and appeared to be having a medical problem, Steven, understanding that something was wrong, contacted the local paramedics who promptly responded to the scene.

Later that day, the client's husband, Robert Egge, called to advise that his wife had been admitted to the hospital with symptoms of a stroke. Fortunately, after a series of tests no serious problems were identified, most likely due to the quick action that Steven took.

"While all turned out okay in this case, Steven's quick thinking and decisive action might have saved a life. His actions suggest that Grand European Tours has a genuine concern about the welfare of their customers," explains Robert Egge, the client's husband.

Steven modestly explains that he didn't do anything special; he just did what was right. He believes that caring customer service comes from a genuine desire to provide service the same way you would wish to be treated.

Hans Sohlstrom, President of Grand European Tours, said, "For over 30 years, we have been in the business of saving our customers money, and now for the first time we are able to say that we have also saved a life. We take great pride in the customer service skills of our employees and I think that this situation goes to show that we do our very best to personally take care of every one of our customers."
