Customer Relationship Skills

Offered in-house. Two or three full days. Recommend up to 16 delegates (flexible).

You may be losing customers because you’re not providing value, or your customer service is poor. Your value offering you can address, but only a change in company culture will address the 2nd. Because when your customers have the choice they choose great experiences. We want that to mean choosing you.  Memorable service is provided only by nice people who are friendly and helpful – and do what they say they’ll do, correctly and on time. And that’s what we’re really good at. Changing culture and installing customer efficient attitudes and practices.

Great customer service is now a standard expectation in the marketplace. Businesses that fail in this respect suffer cataclysmically, often blissfully unaware that they are haemorrhaging customers. Whilst most of us are adamant we provide good service to others, we ourselves report often receiving poor service from others. We reason that whilst we deliver just  fine, we do not receive the same in return. Therein (we have discovered) lies an opportunity – and it’s a big one. Just ask our customers…

How are your people treating the folk who paid last month’s bills – your current customers?

Addressing the customer service divide and its issues too often falls into the low priority or “nuisance” category. When things go wrong, customer relations may be highlighted as a concern, but by then the culture is already entrenched.

Seemingly soft issues are ignored when all is well. It has been shown in countless organisations that only proactive intervention will change a poor service level culture – it will never change on its own. Humans tend to be big on expectation but not quite as big on delivery – similar perhaps to our relationships. A true “customer service culture” in organisations remains rare, as is a practical method of reversing bad habits. That’s why we’ve designed, perfected and continue to receive orders for our uplifting 2-day “Customer Relationship Skills” (CRS), delivered by quite extraordinary facilitators. Because it creates a lasting customer service culture.
