- 4Room for improvement
Section 1
This section looks at exactly what good customer service is. When you work in a job that requires interaction with customers, giving the best customer service you can comes with many benefits, for you personally, as well as your company as a whole. You have the power to turn their negative experience into a positive one.
Section 2
The second section looks at how good communication skills are key to establishing and maintaining a good relationship with your customers. It helps build rapport and establish trust, helps you clear up or avoid misunderstandings, and, most importantly, it allows you to understand exactly what your customer wants and what you can do to help them.
Section 3
In this section of our Customer Service training course, we'll see how to handle a customer's complaint in a professional, understanding and empathetic way, and what you should do when emotions start to get out of hand. With these few tips and a little luck, you'll hopefully find that you can help most of the people, most of the time.
Section 4
In this final section, we'll look at some of the ways you and your employers might try to continually build on past success and learn from mistakes. Employers will use various forms of customer feedback to find weak spots in the customer's experience. But it's also important that you reflect on your own performance and search for ways in which you can improve.

Why is Customer Service training important?important?
Business benefits
In the simplest terms possible, poor customer service is a threat to your organisation; no matter how big or small, new or old, consumers want a great customer experience and if you can’t offer that to them, you’ll suffer the consequences.
It’s estimated that UK businesses are losing £37 billion every year due to poor customer service as 73% of consumers have admitted that they’d happily spend more money for a product if it meant their experience was more positive. But it’s not just customers who are affected. Staff who give poor service or who deal with a battery of complaints become demoralised and demotivated, lowering productivity and increasing the chances that they’ll give poor service. By raising awareness and offering hints and tips, this Customer Service training course will help you avoid the endless downward spiral of negativity, increasing your customer satisfaction and staff morale.
Your customer doesn’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
