Customer service challenges

Date: September 26 and 28 | Time: 09:00-11:30 | Place: Online Learning | Membership fees: 195 EUR + VAT

Intended for:

For companies and institutions to improve the quality of work with clients, resolve conflicts and create a service strategy.

Challenge:

Companies often consider strategic planning or process management as their challenge, but the greatest success in the organization's work is to see the Customer's Value and base internal and external activities on it.

The customer's attitude towards the company is formed by knowledge, feelings, previous experience and future expectations. Living in the age of feedback, any nuance of a customer's attitude can be passed on and influence the attitude and behavior of future customers and also the overall image of the company. Managing customer expectations has become a cornerstone of modern customer service. Customer-oriented activities often include sales training, business etiquette, speech and written culture, but not every company is aware of what Customer Power is and how to direct it in the direction they want.

What are the commandments of Customer Service? Is the Customer always right? What does customer-oriented organization mean? How to identify and manage the Customer's expectations, transforming them into positive attitudes? How to work with a negative attitude? What to do if the Customer shouts, threatens, gets angry? How to maintain consistency in the quality of Customer Service in the long term?

Answers to these and other questions - at the Baibas Apkalnas seminar "Challenges of customer service".

"3 valuable and active training days were spent together with trainer Baiba. The training made it possible to assess the current situation in the field of customer service and to identify the areas to be improved both at the company level and at the individual level for each of the training participants. Within the training, topics related to customer service were professionally discussed both from the point of view of the client, as well as from the point of view of the employees, as well as in the form of discussions, the importance of the Net Promoter Score for ensuring successful business was discussed. The most important benefits of the training: the path of the company's customer was marked, the basic blocks for the customer service standard were defined, the structure of the conversation with the customer was created and its leadership principles. An additional benefit noted by the trainees was the opportunity to hear their colleagues' experiences with customer service, as well as share their own. Feedback from trainees in one sentence "The best customer service lessons ever." Thanks to coach Baiba for the inspiring lessons and constructive feedback."
