Customer Care

Understand how to deliver truly exceptional customer service


Benefits to you and your organisation

  • improve the service you deliver to clients, users or ‘customers’. Service users/customers will make better and more efficient use of your resources
  • staff morale will improve as individuals feel more confident dealing with clients and able to tackle issues that arise
  • satisfied service users/customers will feedback to friends, colleagues and even funders on improvements to your organisation
  • bring about a cultural and attitudinal shift in your organisation – rather than the superficial ‘have a nice day’ approach
  • feel the secondary benefits: reduced bureaucracy, less stress-induced absenteeism, a more empowered staff and a fall-off in time-wasting complaints

Core modules

  • Profiling external customers and understanding internal customers: analysing current external customer needs, potential problems and strategies, introducing the concept of internal customers, team building through customer care
  • Delighting your customers – quality and customer care: setting service standards, drawing up a customer charter, setting Key Result Areas (KRAs) for quality, maintaining continuous improvement
  • Professional telephone behaviour: projecting a positive image via the telephone, dealing with enquiries effectively, questioning techniques, the verbal handshake
  • Face-to-face customer relations: presenting positive personal image, body language and interpersonal skills, techniques for front liners
  • Handling complaints: identifying sources of problems, dealing with aggression, follow up action, assertiveness

The bespoke Customer Care programmes =mc designed were invaluable for the staff at the Customer Contact Centre and provided us with focus, confidence and helped us to further develop our attitudes and behaviours positively. With such an important issue, they pushed our boundaries when needed.
