Customer Service Excellence
Overview
The key to a successful business is not only about providing a quality product or service, but also about delivering great customer service. No matter what industry you’re involved in - it should be one of the pillars of your organisation.
According to the Harvard Business Review, the retention of just 5% of customers can lead to increased profits of 25-95%. Considering 82% of all customers cite service as a reason for jumping ship, it is clear that the importance of staff being properly trained should not be underestimated. Our Customer Service Excellence course is designed to create positive customer experiences and to help delegates feel confident in any customer situation.
