Customer Support for Front-Line Staff
Half or full day | Online or in person
This course will benefit all those working in any kind of customer service or front-line helpdesk
environment. If your customers could approach with a range of queries, in or out of remit, and your staff
need to work with them to work out what they actually need and do their best to provide it, then this course
is ideal.
Do your customers perhaps see your customer support as being a place they need to go when they have to? Perhaps your stats say your helpdesk is doing well but for some reason the reputation still seems disappointing? This course focuses on how people interact, and how your helpdesk can use their current skills and knowledge to provide an excellent customer experience.
Whether you have an IT helpdesk, library enquiry desk, customer support help line or a retail service help point, this course can transform the perception of your customers of your support offer.
