While many companies promise to deliver an incredible customer experience, some are better at supplying this than others. This two-day course is designed around six critical elements of customer service that, when a company truly embraces them, bring customers back to experience service that outdoes the competition.
Specific learning objectives include: understanding what a customer service approach is; understanding how your own behavior affects the behavior of others; demonstrating confidence and skill as a problem solver; applying techniques to deal with difficult customers; and knowing how to provide excellent customer service
Easily customizable training materials mean trainers can deliver a personalized course without having to develop the program themselves! Our soft skills courseware packages include a detailed instructor guide, student workbook, pre-assignment, assessments, and more. The courseware’s print on demand feature makes it convenient for trainers to print off what they need, when they need it – and your purchase allows you to print and deliver as many times as you want, hassle-free.
