Managing Excellent Customer Service
Excellent customer service is the bedrock of a sustainable business model. In an increasingly competitive world market with awareness, expectation and choice for the consumer, customers return to businesses that are both capable and willing to address their needs.
Course Overview
Providing excellent customer service, like any mandate properly actioned by a company, is as much about organisational culture and practice as it is about creating customer-friendly systems and procedures. An introspective perspective of ‘the way we do things around here’ is the starting point for any business wishing to implement a company-wide improvement in customer service. Successful businesses operate a customer-focussed approach to every action they take, because there is no other realistic alternative route to continued success.
The CMBD Managing Customer Service course is designed to provide insight and understanding into the process of creating, developing and managing a team of customer service professionals. The workshop looks at customer motives and how they have developed in the past few years. We look at the effects of technology on customer habits and perceptions and investigate the need to develop a customer service strategy as part of the overall planning process for the business or organisation. The course uses theory, group discussion and peer learning techniques to explore the issues in and around managing change. The course looks at unsatisfactory customer service as a symptom, and therefore serves to inaugurate genuine changes in attitudes and beliefs within the company as a whole. After all, organisational culture can be defined in its essence as 'the way we do things around here'.
