We talked with Mike Lynch, Head of Operations, and one of the early employees who helped build the foundation of LimoLink's Client Service Teams. Read about his perspective on the early days and how teams deliver on their Midwestern values today.
When did you become part of the LimoLink family and what was the environment like?
I started in the spring of 2000, early on in the company’s history. The environment was what you would expect from a startup; learning new things with each trip, wearing many hats, long days but yet a fun and welcoming environment. It all worked well since many employees worked together previously. As the company grew, departments and areas of expertise were created and that’s when we really started to come into our own.
What differentiates LimoLink from other service organizations?
First of all, we answer the phone. Unlike other companies there is no pressing 0, no automated responses or phone trees, and no long hold times. We do not bury our phone number on our website, we want clients to call us. Your calls are answered by a live person on your dedicated team with the resources needed to personally assist you. It is all about interaction, we want to connect with you!
"Each time I call into LimoLink I am personally greeted by name. There is a knowledgeable, friendly and helpful voice ready with my account and passenger details. I set the pace and they get it right, no hassle or worries, just exceptional customer service!"

LimoLink’s mission is to extend premium level quality to everything we do. How does your Client Service team work towards achieving that?
It starts with our recruiting and hiring process. Having the right people that want to foster relationships and be the helpful voice of LimoLink makes all the difference. From mentorship programs, extensive training sessions, manager and peer follow-up, and daily progress reports, our agents are surrounded with the quality assurance process they need to deliver a consistent and professional level of service. Just tell your agent what you need to make your trip successful - a special pick up location, a hot latte waiting for the passenger, favorite music playing, or the temp set at 72 degrees, we will extend our WOW to you.
“I am very social by nature so the initial change of not being with my team/friends at the office was different but we are a close team and have fun communicating virtually now!”
