Customer service excellence

This course empowers delegates to facilitate increased customer loyalty and long-term client retention. For an organisation to be successful, every employee should recognise the importance of customer service, what it means and how it should be delivered. Retaining clients is one the biggest reasons why successful organisations remain successful. Everyone in the organisation who comes in contact with an internal or external customer acts as an ambassador for the organisation, and the quality of their interaction determines whether the client will be retained over the long term.

This course looks at a customer service encounter from the point of view of what customer service excellence is all about. Delegates will learn how their roles, attitudes and interactions ultimately shape the client's understanding and value assessment of the organisation. The course focuses on identifying and modelling customer service from a best-practice viewpoint. It will also look at how to motivate and maintain the morale of customer service staff (and teams) while inspiring others to deliver consistently high-quality service excellence.
