Starting by looking at the most common things that annoy people when they are experiencing poor customer service, delegates then examine the 7 basic needs of clients so that they can implement quick and straightforward strategies in order to meet those needs. From building rapport to structuring a conversation in order to reach a satisfactory outcome for the customer, this course also examines common ways that staff working in customer care can get ‘hooked’ by a challenging customer. Methods of avoiding those hooks will be examined as well as strategies for telling customers what they don’t want to hear. Also, where needed, strategies for dealing with customers on the telephone.
