Creating Exceptional Customer Relations

Studies show that 68% of customers who quit doing business with a company do so because they are turned away by an attitude of indifference on the part of a company employee.  That is, the customer's perception of that employee's attitude. When we're face-to-face with our customers, we need to be aware of our facial expressions and body language for they send messages we're sometimes not even aware of!
And, it's important to make sure your customers feel valued and heard.  Everyone wins when you take the time to pay attention to your relationships with customers—both internal and external. Word-of-mouth is one of the most important factors influencing a customer's decision to buy from or work with your company.

Go beyond simply satisfying customers to having them sing your praises! And keep your customers coming back—again and again. When I lead this workshop we:
-  Determine the 7 sins of customer service and how to avoid them
-  Differentiate among the four essential factors in communication and employ them to prepare for and manage interactions with customers
-  Explore how the way you look and the sound of your voice impact coworkers and customers—both positively and negatively!
-  Identify the Red Flag words that tick customers off and cause them to get defensive or aggressive 
-  Demonstrate you're listening and make sure your customers feel heard
-  Focus on ways to stay in touch and keep customers coming back
