Overview

About this programme

It is essential to accurately measure what your customers want and to develop breakthrough strategies to serve their needs. The heart of any organisation can be found beating inside the walls of its customer service department. A satisfied customer’s positive “word-of-mouth” endorsement is by far your company’s greatest asset and most effective marketing strategy.

The Service Quality & Customer Satisfaction training course gives participants the best practices, communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and customer satisfaction assessment tools they require to build a customer-centric organisation. Delegates will discover how to use a variety of statistical methods to collect and measure key indicators to identify service quality gaps to improve customer service satisfaction.
