Jen Byck
Jen | Content Monkey

Jen Byck is a Toronto-based freelance writer, marketing consultant and owner of Alphabetty. Jen (but never “Jenn”) came to know the IdeaLaunch gang after tweeting with Carolyn and eventually cranking out articles for her through WriterAccess.com. Jen holds a degree in communications, a post-graduate certificate in public relations and has over eight years of writing, marketing and communications experience. Before living the dream of working from home in yoga pants, Jen worked in the non-profit sector and for a boutique marketing agency.

Besides creating memorable online content, Jen enjoys pop culture snarking, finding new and exciting excuses for eating doughnuts and watching television shows intended for teenage girls.

Why Your Customer Service Needs To Be Better

I’ve never been one to suggest that “the customer is always right.” Having worked as a cashier in my high school years (an experience I think every North American should have), I can tell you emphatically that the customer is indeed not always right.
