Delivering exceptional customer service and the proverbial ‘wow’ is essential for building customer loyalty and ensuring an organization’s long-term success. Our 1-day online Customer Service course equips participants with the skills and strategies to provide ‘5 star customer service’ - after all, customer retention is just as important as customer acquisition!
This course is ideal for anyone who regularly interacts with customers - that critical first impression or that last line of defence, whether in person, by phone, or via email, every type of communication is just as important as the next. The impact of a single person in your company could be the difference between a lost sale or a customer for life. This course also applies to those team members who support internal clients within their organization. Delivered through a live, interactive webinar, this short but essential customer service course could be your key differentiator!
Savvy businesses know that staff who deliver great customer service, resulting in greater sales and customer loyalty, are indispensable. The best customer service reps are highly valued and are often promoted to more senior roles.
The attitude and communication skills participants learn on this class will quickly enhance their reputations and boost their careers.
In this lesson we start off by defining customers (both internal and external). We discuss what customers want and then define what great customer service looks like in today’s world.
Great customer service may look different for a millennial than it does for a baby boomer, so we look at the generational differences of the 4 major generations of today, namely the baby boomers, generation x, the millennials, and generation z.
Repeat business or customer loyalty is the lifeblood of any organization. In this lesson we define a lifetime customer, and what drives a customer to remain loyal. We also consider the cost of losing a customer.
Establishing the right attitude is key to delivering great customer service. In this unit we will explore all the characteristics of a high performing customer service representative.
Learning to communicate well is key to delivering outstanding customer service. In this lesson participants will learn to make a great first and lasting impression, how to build rapport with customers, how to engage in active listening to better understand the customer’s needs, how to read body language to help in reading a situation, the power of asking questions, using language that engages and influences, and finish off with learning 5 key communication principles.
A large proportion customer engagement today takes place via email. This has tremendous advantages and disadvantages. We learn what customers expect using this medium, how to write effective emails and good email etiquette.
A complaint is often a gift for a business. In this lesson we review the ground rules for receiving a complaint, hot buttons and forbidden language.
Dealing with difficult or angry customers can be a challenge. In this lesson you will learn seven diffusing techniques and how to best manage your own emotions. You will learn to disengage, a useful technique when dealing with an aggressive customer, and ways for your customer to save face and avoid an embarrassing situation.
Finding ways to say “yes” and offering your customer choices is a great way to empower the customer. Following up will ensure the customer is fully recovered.
Here we look at the importance of customer feedback and different methods for collecting feedback. Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a great method for measuring customer satisfaction.
The class finishes off with practical tips on what should be done in 10 unique situations such as when a customer asks for a discount, when a customer threatens to defect to the competition, or when a customer expresses displeasure.
Our outlines are a guide to the content covered in a typical class. We may change or alter the course topics to meet the objectives of a particular class.
