Skills For Work Training - Building Professional Relationships
Customer Service Essentials
As competition continues to accelerate, organisations must differentiate themselves from their competitors. High-quality customer service is perhaps the most effective differentiator in this context. This requires investment and employees developing specific skills.
Customer Service Essentials explores the differences between internal & external customers, examines flexible service delivery, and builds a model for excellent service.
The course also discusses overcoming barriers, the benefits of investing in customer service, and fostering a service culture — with scenario-based activities for skills development, including complaint handling.
