This half-day workshop will also provide participants with the necessary skills and create a blueprint for their customer service mandate. Whether a business is new or well-established, customer service excellence is essential for growth. When businesses deliver excellence, they keep existing customers, increase referrals, and continually attract new customers. Service excellence involves communication skills, from answering a phone call to facilitating a video meeting, working with big emotions, and dealing with constant talkers.
