Course Overview

“You can make or break the entire customer relationship in the first 30 seconds of contact. To the customer, the front line employees are the company.*” This course provides participants with the opportunity to improve their “one on one” communications to improve the customers’ experience.

The session is highly interactive using a variety of learning methods: visual presentation, lecture, discussion and small group exercises. Knowledge learned includes ideas for improving teamwork, handling difficult customer behavior and managing stress.

This course is designed to improve the use of the telephone for business communications. Participants learn how the telephone can be used more effectively in their daily contacts with customers and with co-workers.

In situations where participants are the first contact within the company, the benefits of this course are quickly realized in an improved customer “first impression”.
