GREAT customer service

A unique one- or half-day programme

Virtual or classroom
 

In our digital, ‘results now’, ‘always on’ and ‘click here’ world, it’s easy to lose the emotionally connected experience that customers want. Studies show that 70% of customers spend twice as much with organisations they have an emotional connection with, so we lose that connection at our peril.

And that’s our starting point with the GREAT customer service programme. It gives a structure for an emotionally connected, loyalty-inspiring, trust-building customer conversation.

This programme inspires behavioural change. It will help your people acquire and develop the skills they need.
Learning objectives
Workshop information

Who should attend?

This programme is appropriate to everyone within your organisation, at whatever level – and the flexible structure means that we can easily tailor it to different levels, different functions, different sectors, different types of customer interaction (eg, telephone, face-to-face, email, etc).

What happens in it?

This is a very practical, interactive session – structured explanations when needed, otherwise very conversational, with a heap of activities and video clips. As a participant, you’re never more than 15 minutes away from the next activity. 

How’s it delivered?

Option 1 – Face-to-face. A one-day session for a group of up to 12. 

Option 2 – Virtual. The virtual option is just as interactive. Again, for a group of up to 12. 

Is there any pre-work?

Whether ‘classroom’ or ‘virtual’, participants will get the most from the programme if they complete a short personality styles questionnaire first. One exercise, in particular, depends on it.

Is there any follow-up?

We’ll give you our ‘GREAT coaching toolkit’ – a 32-page booklet for your team leaders and line managers, full of practical coaching strategies they can use in the moment, in a team meeting, or in a one-to-one.

What’s the next step?

Give us a call to talk it through. Decide what’s the best approach for your organisation. Agree a budget. Have a chat with the trainer. Discuss the practicalities. Pick a time, date and place. Sign on the dotted line (you’re not committed until then).

Is there anything else I need to know?

Not really. But give us a call if you’ve got any questions – we’re here to help!
