Customer Service Excellence
Course Aim
Excellence in customer and client service has always been critical to an organisation’s long-term sustainability and success. And whether or not service is deemed mediocre, good or exceptional is largely a factor of the client or customer’s experience of the level of service received. As the famous saying by Maya Angelou goes “People may not remember what you said or did, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel”.
For those of you who are in frontline service and sales roles, this customer service excellence workshop will empower you with the essential mindset, tools and strategies for creating an exceptional customer experience. It will also give you foundational skills for dealing with complaints and difficult situations with professionalism and composure.
