Learn more about this unique training opportunity:
In this highly interactive virtual class, participants learn how to handle challenging customers whose difficult and demanding ways confront and confound customer service representatives at all levels. This customer service webinar develops skills and techniques to provide quality service to difficult customers of all types.
This interactive training session is designed for call center or face-to-face service environments.
Research indicates that customers who complain are more willing to continue doing business with you, if they feel that they are being treated properly.
Angry and complaining customers typically do not decide to take their business to the competition – until they talk to you. That’s why we train service representatives on what to say (and what not to say), how to defuse hostility, how to control emotions, how to use coping strategies, how to use tact and diplomacy and much more in this one-day session.
Whether the customer is loud and abrasive or on the verge of exploding with anger, customer service representatives leave this session with new skills and tools to handle them with greater confidence.
They will have a heightened awareness of what drives customer needs and know how to adjust their service style to better relate to the customer and implement a service solution.
Does this sound familiar?
♦ Customer complaints are increasing
♦ Service representatives avoid and try to transfer difficult customers to someone else
♦ There is a lack of creativity in solving customer problems
♦ Service representatives are sometimes curt or “short” with clients who have problems
♦ Service representatives wish demanding customers would “just go away"
♦ Service representatives are sometimes afraid to deal with certain customers
♦ When challenged, service reps give away too much to make the problem go away
♦ The stress level in the service department or call center is increasing
♦ Service representatives have not been trained or need a refresher course on handling difficult and demanding customers
If the answer to any of the above is “Yes,” then this training is for you.
