Customer Service - Glad I Could Help (Real Customer Service Situations for Discussion)

This program illustrates to employees how to respond positively in difficult customer service situations. Employees will see the most common internal and external customer service situations, both over the phone and face-to-face. In each situation, employees will learn that by responding with a "glad I could help" attitude, customers will feel positive about the employee, the organization, and the way they have been treated - ultimately creating long-term customer loyalty.

Key Learning Points:

Understand the number one thing that matters to customers is how they're treated

Keep your focus on what you can do to solve a customer's problem

Exhibit a "glad I could help" attitude when dealing with customers

Make sure the customer is left with a positive, memorable impression

This program will show employees how they can have the "glad I could help" attitude:

Thank the customer and empathize

Acknowledge emotions

Ask for permission

Reassure you can help

Offer to go the extra step

Gently confront

Your employees will be shown how to handle these situations:

The phone rings when dealing with a face-to-face customer

An irate customer who has just gone through an automated phone system

A customer whose delivery expectations have not been met

An internal customer who has been promised service, but has not received it

An upset customer who has been transferred several times

Being interrupted by a customer who needs help

Making an exception to a policy to help a customer

An angry customer who has an unexpected high bill and damaged goods

Each employee will receive a participant's binder, which will include discussion questions and activities.

Through our team approach to learning, the customization we provide for the individual exercises and small group activities, we provide a fun, motivating approach for your employees.

This program is presented in a half-day format.
