EXCELLENCE IN CUSTOMER SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Participants learn:
- How money flows through an organization, the importance of cash flow, cost reduction, sales growth,
and margin improvement. - How all areas of the business impact profitability, including but not limited to: production, inventory,
transportation, accounting, purchasing, customer service, and sales. - How decisions made today have far-reaching and irreversible impact on near-future activities.
Meeting the Service Challenge
- Participants discover how to turn customer problems into new sales opportunities.
- They will get first-hand practice with an extraordinarily effective, field-tested transaction tool: the
Problem-Solving process model.
Building Customer Relationships
- Before needs can be addressed, customers must be heard and understood. Participants explore the
unique personality orientations that influence customer perception. - An interactive group activity leads to on-site practice, using a proven human-dynamics model to effectively
solve problems while addressing the customer’s orientation.
Servicing the Customer
- With an exciting new process model, the Service Excellence Diamond, participants master the all-important Engagement Step
for positive, compelling interactions with customers. Customized, reality-based skill building provides
an opportunity to answer customer inquiries and handle objections within the guiding framework of the Diamond.
Influencing Customer Attitudes and Actions
- Participants discover how they can “turn the corner” from handling customer problems to opening up new sales opportunities.
- They’ll master the Discovery Process model to uncover needs and then energetically implement the Resolution Process.
Customized, reality-based exercises reinforce these essential process models.
Service with Attitude
- How to have a dynamic, upbeat impact on customer decision-making, from Positive Contact to Positive Close.
- In preparation for face-to-face and telephone interactions, participants explore the influence of auditory, visual,
and mental "signals." A final activity uses the entire Service Excellence Diamond to reinforce applied skills.
Staying on Top of Your Game
- Operating at the “point-of-contact” with so many customers, your service team has the responsibility of maintaining
and improving position in your sales efforts. In an end-of-the workshop review, participants make their commitment
to the dynamic Excellence in Customer Service process models that turn coping into influencing.
