Training for Customer Service Agents

………………………………..

In this session front-line reps learn simple strategies they can use to avoid stress and improve customer satisfaction

It Takes Two to Tango: How to Stay Cool Under Fire

Agents say that dealing with rude, angry and disgruntled customers is the worst part of their job. In this highly interactive workshop, participants learn smart strategies for guiding upset customers through the issue resolution process. Service professionals learn to use the Stop Observe Decide Act (SODA) process to handle even the most belligerent customers skillfully. Agents who apply this technique learn to manage their emotions and as a result have lower call handle times. Fewer calls are escalated to supervisors and more customers are satisfied. Benefits to individual reps include a reduction in job-related stress and higher job satisfaction.

Participants in this class learn:

  • Why the first few seconds of a customer’s call is the most important.
  • How to read your customer accurately and respond appropriately.
  • Why a simple apology works wonders and how to use it.
  • How to apply the SODA Principle to handle any situation easily.
  • How to use the Sticky Situation 4-Step to handle customer push back.
