Course Overview:

Duration - 1 Day

In fiercely competitive markets where products and services are similar, putting the customer first is a sensible strategy for building the business. Satisfied customers return and tell others. Most businesses intend to provide good service but this is not easy to achieve in practice. How can the manager ensure that good customer service will prevail throughout his/her organisation? What are the simple practical steps that lead to quality products and excellent service? This programme answers these questions. The programme is very participative and gets delegates to address these issues in a practical way that clarifies the relationship between customer care and overall business strategy. Examples show how a customer relations programme can be central to the business. The course method is by tutor led discussion with a series of individual and syndicate exercises and case studies. Delegates will be encouraged to build a personal action plan that can be applied to their business.
