Virtual Webinar Overview

Positive customer service starts with me! The power of behavioural skills has been recognised for many years in all kinds of situations. When we consider the skills required to deliver effective customer service, they come top of the list.

This virtual training programme firstly identifies exactly what the key skills are, before giving you the time to reflect on your own strengths and development areas. You have the opportunity to consider the fundamental areas of emotional intelligence (EI), communication skills and knowing the customer. The sessions will consider the impact of the skills in both a face to face and a remote working environment. Time will be given to self-reflection and how you can consciously continue your own development.

The approach will be to run two 90-minute sessions with a gap of one week in between. The style of the sessions will be to be as interactive as possible, thought provoking and practical, enabling you to reflect and share best practice. At the end of the sessions you will have the opportunity to identify three key actions/development areas that you would like to work with in order to transfer the learning into your own working environment.

Aims/Objectives

By the end of the development programme you will be able to:

• State the principles of Emotional Intelligence (EI)
• Understand the relationship between personal confidence and effective customer relationships
• Consciously manage the impact of verbal & non-verbal behaviour
• Facilitate conversations using a foundation of skills
• Relate to different personality styles for positive influence
