This powerful workshop will give your staff more than just the foundation on providing good internal and external customer service. It will give them the motivation, desire and ownership to satisfy your customers with excellence. That's why we subtitled this workshop "From the Inside/Out."
Most training participants know what good and bad customer service is, but they may not provide it in their jobs. They may not have made the mental connection between what they know about customer service and their specific jobs. They also may not be clear on what to do to provide great customer service. Our customer service training provides both the awareness and the clarity that they need to give excellent customer service. Our customer service workshop also creates this awareness by creating "buy-in" with the participants. This is done by having them build their own Customer Service for Excellence Model based on their experience of good and bad customer service. They then gain clarity of what to do in their jobs by creating specific strategies, procedures and "next steps" based on the created Customer Service for Excellence Model. This process will establish good customer service habits in your workplace. The result will be individual plans and tactics for how to work with their customers so that the customers feel that they are well taken care of.
We find that this training approach is far more effective than most customer service training programs. We believe that the way to ensure your customer service agents provide great customer service is to go beyond technique and the "suppose to-dos." Our focus is on getting "buy-in" from the workshop participants and getting their 100% agreement as to what things they can do to create excellent customer service experiences for their customers.
This workshop is fast-paced, 80% interactive, participatory, and productive. It includes discussions, fun games and quizzes, demonstration and practice, lecturettes, storytelling, role plays, and problem solving. Participants will be working individually, in small groups and in large groups.
Before our training our trainer will spend time getting to know your business and tailoring the training to your business. They will use relevant examples and focus on the type of customer service your staff provides. For example, this training is flexible enough to focus solely on customer service on the phone. So if your business is a service, manufacturer, or retailer the training will fit right in.
Participants will also be asked to commit to using the new skills/tools by completing our "Commitment Form."
The 8-hour version includes developing a Customer Service Policy that the group collectively creates. This policy includes the specific behaviors needed for each person to provide great customer service. This makes a powerful workshop even more powerful.
We also offer a shorter version for Keynotes & Conferences. This 1- to 3-hour version is extremely dynamic and fun. There are lots of interactive activities that focus on the importance of providing great customer service and how to completely satisfy your customer.
At the end of this workshop attendees will create a model of what good and bad customer service is. They themselves will have established principles for providing excellent customer service. Though each group typically comes up with fairly common responses, the wording and perspective are unique to each group. In order to ensure greater buy-in the workbook is handed out after the session and includes their ideas and decisions about establishing excellent customer service. This is what makes this workshop powerful and special.
It's easy to arrange. Pick a time and place and we will send an expert trainer out to you. Just fill out the request for proposal and we'll do the rest.
