Course description
Winning Over Irate Customers (Public Course)
At this workshop you will learn techniques that will allow you to handle really challenging customer service situations with confidence, thus improving customer satisfaction, loyalty and company image.
It actually doesn’t “take all kinds” to make the world go around, we just happen to have them! Anyone who deals with customers, clients, complainants or members of the public will have to deal with irate, upset, confrontational and unreasonable people.
We took our years of experience dealing with disputes of all shapes and sizes, and our experience working with organizations facing significant volumes of front line customer disputes, and developed an effective, simple model for managing such disputes early and well.
At this high impact workshop for front line staff, you will learn techniques that will allow you to handle really challenging customer service situations with confidence. You will learn our easy-to-use customized seven-step model for managing customer service disputes effectively. You will experience a range of practical and interactive discussions, exercises and role plays that will give you new and effective tools for dealing with difficult conversations and people. Whether managing a problematic customer or having more productive conversations with fellow staff, this course will give you the core tools you need. You will have opportunities to practise learned skills in a variety of contexts so that the skills can become second nature.
