Customer Services Training

Customer service is the act of taking care of the customer’s needs by providing and delivering professional, helpful, high quality service. This quality service takes place before, during, and after the customer’s requirements are met. It includes all interactions made by the company with it’s clients starting with the sales team. The provision of good customer service requires training for all staff who come into contact with clients or customers. The way we interact with customers takes in many forms.  This ranges from face-to-face conversations, phone, email, social media or through the company’s website. However you interact with customers, the quality of customer care has the power to make or break a company.  Smallbusiness.co.uk give us insights into how much the success of a business relies on good customer services in their article: 16 Customer Service stats and what they mean for small companies.

Good Customer Service:
  • Increases sales revenue by inviting already satisfied customers to spend more
  • Creates trust and reduces barriers so that if customers know you want them to have a good experience. This mean you will help in a set up operation or stand by generous returns policies. The result of this means they are more likely to buy a product or service from you, a trusted supplier, in future.
  • Retaining customers cost less than gaining new customers so the satisfaction of existing customer saves on marketing costs.
  • It improves brand image, reputation and gets word of mouth recommendations from satisfied customers
  • A feedback mechanism is established through customer service which solves problems of existing customers and identifies obstacles to buying from future customers

This customer services skills training is a journey that goes through identifying who the customers is, what they need from you and how you can ensure this need not just met, but delivered in a way that ensures the customer has a great experience.  The course material outlines how trust is built with customers and how they can be your greatest advocates in getting new customers.   Communications style is central to good customer services and much of the course deals with fostering and improving the best ways to communicate with customers.  The final chapter deals with how to set up systems to handle complaints that will keep a potentially disgruntled customer coming back in the future.
