What Your Employees Will Learn in the PRO Course
The Frontline Customer Service PRO course develops both core and advanced customer service skills, preparing employees to confidently manage face-to-face interactions while also driving loyalty and sales outcomes.
With a strong focus on advanced communication and influence techniques, participants learn how to connect more deeply with customers, resolve difficult situations with ease, and create memorable service experiences that stand out.
Training is highly practical, using advanced role-plays, scenario analysis, and live coaching so employees can embed skills immediately and return to work more confident and capable.
Delivered as 3 x 3-hour interactive online sessions or an immersive full-day onsite program, the course provides a premium learning experience that balances flexibility with depth.
The Psychology of Service & Creating Premium Customer Experiences
This session sets the stage by exploring what drives customers to say “yes” — and how face-to-face interactions can influence decision-making without pressure or gimmicks.
We'll compare traditional vs. modern service approaches, introduce key customer experience standards, and show how to establish trust, manage expectations, and make powerful first impressions.
Employees will participate in expert-led discussions, demonstrations, and live simulations to embed early-stage customer service behaviours that drive long-term customer satisfaction and loyalty.
1. The Psychology of Customer Service & Sales
Dive deep into the core motivations and expectations that drive customer behaviour. This module leverages proven psychological principles to help your team understand the 'why' behind customer actions, enabling them to anticipate needs, build rapport, and strategically enhance every interaction for mutual success and positive business outcomes.
2. Body Language & Voice Projection
Master the art of non-verbal communication to profoundly impact face-to-face interactions. Participants will learn advanced techniques in posture, expressive voice control, and strategic body language to convey professionalism, confidence, and empathy, significantly boosting customer perception and overall satisfaction.
3. How to Engage
Develop sophisticated techniques to create powerful first impressions and establish immediate trust with customers. This module focuses on proactive engagement strategies that build rapport from the outset, ensuring every customer feels valued and understood, setting a positive tone for the entire interaction.
Advanced Discovery & Customer Engagement That Build Trust
In this session, we focus on uncovering customer needs before offering solutions — a skill that separates transactional service from true customer advocacy.
Employees will learn advanced discovery techniques (including ones adapted from negotiation training), how to effectively educate customers using clear, structured messaging, and how to build solutions naturally while handling various customer scenarios.
Real-time practice and targeted coaching help embed the core behaviours that lead to better engagement, fewer pushbacks, and more confident customer interactions.
4. Discover
Hone your team's ability to conduct needs-based conversations through advanced empathy techniques, mirroring, and precision active listening. This module empowers employees to uncover explicit and implicit customer needs, ensuring proposed solutions are perfectly aligned and highly effective, leading to greater satisfaction and successful outcomes.
5. Educate
Equip your team with strategies for providing personalised, proactive customer solutions. This module focuses on clearly articulating information, anticipating questions, and guiding customers through complex choices with confidence and clarity, transforming service interactions into educational and empowering experiences.
6. How to Close
Master the art of concluding customer interactions with impact, ensuring a memorable and positive closing experience. This module covers techniques for confirming understanding, solidifying satisfaction, and leaving customers with a lasting positive impression, fostering loyalty and encouraging repeat engagement.
Closing with Confidence, Clarity & Empathy
The final session brings everything together — from managing overall energy and demonstrating empathy to effectively dealing with difficult customers and applying all learned skills in real-world scenarios.
Employees will refine their voice, energy, and delivery using vocal coaching, advanced empathy strategies, and guided frameworks for managing complex interactions. We also run end-to-end service simulations to test and refine all the skills learned so far.
This session builds capability, confidence, and consistency — helping employees conclude interactions professionally and apply their new skills in real-world face-to-face customer service conversations.
7. Energy & Empathy
Cultivate the critical skills of consistently maintaining high energy levels and deep empathy throughout demanding shifts. This module provides practical tools and mindset techniques to ensure your team remains positive, focused, and genuinely connected with every customer, even under pressure, enhancing overall service quality.
8. Dealing with Difficult Customers
Equip your team with advanced strategies and extensive practice for effectively managing challenging customer interactions. This module focuses on de-escalation techniques, professional complaint resolution, and transforming potentially negative encounters into positive outcomes, safeguarding customer relationships and brand reputation.
9. Bringing it all together!
This comprehensive capstone module consolidates all learned skills through immersive, interactive practice and personalised feedback sessions. Participants will apply integrated techniques in realistic scenarios, solidifying their confidence and expertise, and leaving with a practical action plan for immediate and sustained excellence in frontline customer service.
Course Workbook Included!
With nine hours of immersive training content, every participant receives a downloadable course workbook to support their learning during and after the course.
It’s packed with summaries, frameworks, and ready-to-use phrases that help your team confidently apply the skills covered in both sessions — whether they’re starting conversations, educating customers, or defusing tricky situations.
Key Course Outcomes
