Detailed Course Outline

Introduction and Course Overview You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

What is Customer Service? This session will get participants thinking about the information to be covered over the next two days through small and large group discussion.

Who Are Your Customers? In most organizations and agencies, customers take two forms: internal and external. This session will look at both types of customers.

Meeting Expectations This session will focus on the four critical areas that customers have expectations for.

Presenting Yourself Properly Using individual testing, participants will take a look at the impression they give customers and ways they can improve.

Setting Goals and Targets During this session, we will look at setting SMART goals.

Standards Participants will participate in a brief lecture about standards, and then they will develop a set of standards for the four key components of customer service.

Communication This session will focus on communication barriers and how we can overcome them.

Telephone Techniques This brief lecture will look at an ideal telephone call, from the greeting to the conclusion. We will also look at common situations, such as placing a caller on hold and taking a message.

Managing the Talkative Caller Talkative people are often interesting and enjoyable, but on the telephone they can take up a lot of time. Participants will work in small groups to identify ways to deal with talkative callers.

Dealing with Difficult Callers During this session, participants will work in small groups to complete a mix-and-match exercise on common types of difficult callers and appropriate responses.

The Recovery Process During this session, we will look at a six-step process that you can use to turn customers around.

Eliminating Customer Service Problems Wouldn’t it be great if you never had to deal with an upset customer again? This session will examine some ways that you can reduce customer service issues.
