This training focuses on the key actions that lead to true excellence in customer service. The best way to gain skills in handling customers is practice, so attendees will be encouraged to use real life examples to see how they can improve the quality of customer service they provide. They will leave the course with notes and templates to help them assess their behaviour when working with customers.
Participants will become psychologically ready, supported with the skills-set to deliver impeccable customer service. After the programme, delegates will be able to attend to more service demands and, in the process, strengthen the organization’s brand equity in a way that creates more customers.
Employees who are properly trained and demonstrate professional customer service skills, can significantly improve customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. This helps the business retain customers and improve profits. It costs less to retain loyal customers than to acquire new ones.
