I have an employee who does a fair job but when it comes to make changes in his workmanship, he does not want to follow it. He does offer to help the company by doing extra work and learns well. But in order to do his work, he would not use politeness. Seems like ordering or in other words, you better comply with my request right now (drop everything you may be doing) attitude when he talks or calls on phone. In one way he wants nothing but best for customers regardless the employer who would like to use some disclosing of truth upfront and close a sale. Many time he would do in front of other employees. Any advise?

First, this particular form is for HR people to express their views about HR in the news. You will get more and better advice if you put your question in the General Forum.
That said, it sounds like you need to be more closely managing this employee's behaviour at work via a standard progressive disciplinary process. Make sure you present him with written documented facts (i.e., "on this date you said this," and "on that date you did that," and so on) and make sure he understands (because you've put it in writing) that continued behaviour of this kind will lead to his termination from employment with your company.
Or, if he's working for you in an at-will situation, you can just fire him (and find a better-behaving replacement via a good solid behavioural event interviewing process).
Whatever you decide to do, good luck!
