Effective Complaint Handling
Programme Overview
Customers are important in ensuring the survival and sustainability of any company or organisation. Customers have the right to receive an excellent level of customer service and experience. Customers who complain are offering companies and organisations a chance to identify and resolve problems, demonstrate excellent service and keep customers loyal. Companies and organisations, however, cannot stop customers from having concerns about the level of their customer service and making a complaint to the service provider. What is important is how the staff receiving the complaint deals with and handles the upset customer.
This 2-day training programme will benefit frontline staff, staff in the customer-facing roles and staff who serve and deal with customers regularly. It is also suitable for staff who are working in customer service or complaint handling departments. This training programme will provide participants with the crucial skills, techniques and tools to improve their customer services.
Participants will have the opportunity to apply the tips, methods and toolkits via roleplaying scenarios and how to overcome the challenges posed when handling a complaint or an upset customer.
