Here's the press release.

Customers Aren't Leaving Because of Bad Service. They're Leaving Because of This.

After eight international bestsellers, Justin Herald's ninth book tackles the problem every business and every customer already knows. Service Rebellion: The Wolf Pack Standard releases June 29.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA — June 2026

Ask any consumer what frustrates them most about dealing with businesses today and the answers are remarkably consistent.

Nobody calls back. Emails go unanswered for days. You get a completely different experience depending on who picks up the phone. You walk into a place that used to feel like they valued your business and now it just feels like they're going through the motions.

Most people don't complain. They just quietly stop going back.

Now ask any business owner the same question in reverse and the answers are equally consistent. They care about their customers. Their team tries hard. They invest in training. And they still can't work out why customers are leaving without a word.

Both sides of this conversation are telling the truth. And that is exactly the problem that Justin Herald's ninth book Service Rebellion: The Wolf Pack Standard sets out to solve.

After 25 years delivering keynotes and working inside businesses across virtually every industry, Herald identified a pattern that almost no one was talking about openly. Standards don't collapse dramatically. They drift. Small behaviours become normal. Experiences that once felt intentional start feeling ordinary. And customers make a quiet decision that nobody sees coming.

"The businesses I work with are not bad businesses," Herald says. "Their people are not bad people. But somewhere along the way the standard slipped and nobody noticed until the customers were already gone. That is the most expensive problem in business right now and most organisations don't even know they have it."

Service Rebellion introduces the Wolf Pack Standard, a practical behavioural framework built around ten observable standards that every person in an organisation can understand, own and protect. Not a training manual. Not a set of values on a wall. A clear line that holds regardless of who is working, how busy things are or whether anyone is watching.

The book is not written for executives or HR departments. It is written for every single person who touches a customer at any point in the journey. From the person who answers the phone to the leader who sets the tone. Because Herald's central argument is that the experience a customer has is never the responsibility of one department. It is the responsibility of everyone.

Before its official release Service Rebellion has already generated significant corporate interest with organisations ordering bulk copies for their entire teams and international publishers expressing interest in foreign language editions. The problem it addresses has no borders.

Herald is an entrepreneur who built his first business from $50 into a global licensing brand operating across 55 countries and generating over $30 million in annual turnover. He has written eight previous international bestselling books and speaks to more than 80,000 business owners, leaders and teams every year.

Service Rebellion: The Wolf Pack Standard is available for pre-order now. Physical copies are available in bookstores and on Amazon globally from June 29.
