As competition in the region continues to grow unabated, price and quality no longer assure the deal. Worse still, customers who do not receive quality service levels are turning their backs on companies in droves and telling their friends about it!

Organizations must, therefore, add value to the experience everywhere they can in order to differentiate themselves from the competition. Delivering great customer service is a highly effective method of achieving this whilst being relatively simple to implement and cost-effective.

This 2-day course will give you a step by step guide to achieving customer service excellence. This course is a busy workshop designed to help you develop, improve and implement customer service tools, techniques and strategies. The course director will take each participant through the step-by-step CS techniques critical to the pre-approach, approach and after-sales service.

This will be done through a highly charged, enjoyable course involving lectures, classroom exercises, role-plays, discussions and extensive accompanying course-notes (delegates are also expected to take their own personal extensive notes for future referral).
