The skills we teach are applicable to all industries, products and services!

Course Modules:
The November 2023 Customer Service Reception PRO course is designed to first influence the psychology of participants to start viewing service from a customer perspective rather than their own internal, operational mindset. Then the service experience model that forms the basis of the program, ‘The 5 Degrees of Customer Experience’, is introduced in a sequenced manner that builds competency and new habits in a staged approach.
We’ve also included a module to master the skills of handling difficult customers that will not only reduce anxiety in your staff in how to handle those tough situations, but it will also help your business by reducing the number of frustrated customers.
There’s plenty of role-playing and practice built in to ensure staff can put their new skills to work with the practice conducted in a safe, fun and welcoming online environment.
At the end of the course, trainees will be provided with a certificate of achievement and most importantly, be empowered with new skills that will help them succeed in their role.
