Communication Skills: CompUSA Suddenly Needs Writers "One misspelled word and customers begin to doubt the validity of the information they are getting," warns Mary Jo Lichtenberg.
She's director of training, quality, and career development at CompUSA, in Plano, Texas. One of her big problems is training service agents with weak communication skills.
