You use your common sense and your instincts to judge whether the person in front of you is genuine or not, don't you? In the same way, you should assess whether the service provider is making justifiably high claims or whether the individual is over exaggerating to win your business.
Your assessment of the quality of the service provider begins from the moment you walk into his or her office.
If you are talking on the telephone, you started judging the individual from the moment you dial the number.
Whether the call is answered by the receptionist or by the individual himself, whether you are asked to stay on hold for a long time or whether you are attended quickly, whether your doubts and questions are answered or whether they are brushed aside - all these factors are taken into consideration.
