Customer Experience & Service: Gain Devoted Customers

The Business World Now

Do you deal with customers? Are their expectations getting higher? Are they wanting more for less? Is it getting harder to retain their loyalty? Would you like to discover ways to ‘delight’ and create ‘outstanding’ customer experiences that get them to tell others about you, come back for more and spend more?

The challenges facing many businesses today are greater than ever. In most market sectors, there is a massive choice of options and an abundance of suppliers. We live in a world where customer expectations are rapidly increasing, people are questioning much more and consumer trust is harder to win. We are also competing in a connected world where word of mouth (and ‘word of mouse’!) spreads much quicker and easier. The evidence clearly shows that it is the businesses that deliver consistently ‘outstanding’ customer experiences that are the ones that benefit from getting ahead and staying ahead of their competitors.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is for anyone looking to seriously develop their customer service skills and create outstanding customer experiences. You may be an established, experienced manager or team leader responsible for managing a customer-facing team.

You might be someone who deals directly with customers in their day to day role or someone who wants to get into the world of customer service. This course will equip you with the skills to make that happen.
