Managing Difficult Customers – March 2021
Course Navigation
March 2021 Managing Difficult Customers course
Encountering difficult situations is an intrinsic part of dealing with customers & clients – whether internal or external.
But how many of us are equipped to handle those situations?
It takes a lot of confidence and skill to effectively manage angry or upset customers and not having the right skills can, and is, a daunting experience for anyone.
We even need to consider our internal viewpoints and belief systems to ensure we can manage the situation well and not take things too personally or slip into chastising or blaming the customer that can be both personally and professionally damaging.
And whilst there always been angry and difficult customers since the age of time, COVID has no doubt seen a global increase in people’s stress and frustration levels.
Our March 2021 Managing Difficult Customers Training Courses teaches you how to identify the different types of difficult customers and the different types of difficult situations, and then use root cause analysis to identify and apply the correct solution with confidence.
From learning how to negotiate, through to learning how to say no effectively and with professionalism, the Managing Difficult Customers Training Course is the ideal program to help you or your team members handle difficult situations with grace and style.
As with all our CX Skills courses, this course involves workshop exercises, quizzes, role-plays, videos, examples and more to make the course enjoyable and bring the learnings to life.
This is one of our most popular courses and it’s run both publicly (great for smaller numbers) and privately if you need to train larger groups, need more flexibility in the timing and would like to keep all the discussions ‘in-house’.
You can also view other upcoming dates if these don’t suit.

Testimonials
“This course was really engaging and very well organised. Daniel was amazing, and I didn’t ‘zone out’ once, a sign of an excellent trainer. Really enjoyed the course and learnt lots, particularly liked the examples of situations where certain vocabulary is acceptable. Made the course sink in.”
“I just wanted to email you in thanks as I have found your recent training session very helpful! I have been able to use UNER(R) very effectively, where previously I had problems saying ‘no’, generally going into far too much detail on my explanation. This has helped stop at least two complaints and I‘ve also been using the Human Touch in more of my emails 😀 .”
“Hi Daniel, just wanted to say thanks for the brilliant workshop. Was lovely to meet you and it’s always a pleasure to learn new techniques, perspectives and ways of working.”
“It was a really fun and exciting training course and I will be able to apply all these methods now and in my future career. Loved the tips on how to deal with the especially fussy guests!”.
“Very good and interactive – fun but full of knowledge.”
“The training was really fun but more importantly I learned a lot of techniques that I’ve been able to use on lots of my calls which has made my job a lot easier – thanks!”
