Session 1 (3 Hours)

The Psychology of Service & First Impressions that Build Trust
This session sets the foundation by unpacking what customers expect from technical support and how small changes in behaviour can dramatically improve the customer experience.

We’ll explore how different types of customers think, how to manage emotional responses under pressure, and how your team can create calm, confident first impressions that reduce friction from the start.

Employees will participate in practical simulations to better understand brain chemistry, emotional triggers, and what it takes to build trust quickly — even when customers are stressed or frustrated.

1. The Psychology of Customer Service & Support

This module sets the scene for what customers expect when seeking technical support and explores what makes a poor, average, or superior customer service experience.

Employees will learn how to identify different types of difficult customers and understand what they need from their service experience.

We’ll also cover the science behind emotions and how they impact brain chemistry and functions, helping employees better manage challenging situations.

2. How to Engage

Employees will learn how to create a strong first impression by demonstrating empathy, ownership, and intent, helping to build trust with customers.

We’ll also cover how to manage customer expectations effectively and provide confidence that technical issues will be resolved.

This module includes live tech and customer support simulations for hands-on practice.

Session 2 (3 Hours)

Discovery, Troubleshooting & Clear Communication
This session focuses on helping employees uncover the real root cause of customer issues and deliver information clearly, confidently, and at the right pace.

Using techniques drawn from FBI-level discovery methods, your team will learn how to improve troubleshooting efficiency while helping customers feel heard, understood, and supported.

Practical activities will sharpen questioning, problem-solving, and customer education skills — with clear frameworks for managing even complex service conversations.

3. Needs Discovery

Employees will learn three critical discovery techniques (as used by the FBI) to identify and confirm the root cause of customer issues.

The trainer will demonstrate these techniques using real-world scenarios to improve troubleshooting efficiency.

Employees will practice applying these techniques to develop better problem-solving habits.

4. How to Educate

Employees will learn how to proactively educate and inform customers with technical instructions, product details, and process information in a way that maximizes first-contact resolution.

Key techniques include clarity, pacing, pausing, and checking for understanding and comfort.

Session 3 (3 Hours)

Closing with Confidence & Handling the Tough Stuff
This final session teaches employees how to end every call on a high and navigate difficult customer behaviour without getting flustered.

Your team will master structured closing techniques, de-escalation tools, and advanced empathy-driven responses to leave a lasting positive impression — even when things don’t go to plan.

The session wraps with high-impact role plays and real-world simulations to reinforce new skills, improve confidence, and ensure they’re ready to perform under pressure.

5. How to Close

Employees will learn how to avoid awkward or abrupt call endings by applying a structured closing approach.

Techniques covered include final checks, expressions of gratitude, and warm farewells that leave a lasting positive impression.

6. Handling Difficult Customers

This module explores the science behind emotions and how they impact customer interactions.

Employees will learn a two-step method for de-escalating difficult customer interactions, using empathy and effective communication techniques.

We’ll cover the best language, tone, and actions to improve call outcomes.

7. Bringing it all together!

Employees will engage in extensive role-playing exercises to practice their newly learned customer support skills.

These interactive exercises will reinforce confidence, enabling employees to apply their skills immediately in real-world scenarios.

What Your Team Will Walk Away With:

Stronger First Impressions Under Pressure: Employees will know how to greet customers with calm professionalism, even in high-stress environments — instantly setting the right tone for productive support.
Smarter Troubleshooting & Discovery: With advanced questioning techniques, your team will uncover root causes faster — improving first contact resolution and minimising unnecessary escalations.
Clearer Technical Communication: Employees will explain issues and instructions with clarity and empathy — reducing customer confusion and repeat contacts.
More Confident Call Closures: Staff will end calls with purpose, using structured wrap-up techniques that reinforce trust and professionalism — even when the issue isn't fully resolved.
Better Handling of Difficult Customers: Your team will learn how to defuse tension, manage emotions, and maintain control using a proven, low-stress de-escalation approach.
Real-World Practice, Not Just Theory: Through live coaching, role plays, and feedback, employees will apply new skills in realistic scenarios — building capability, not just awareness.
