Dealing with Difficult Customers
Who should attend?
This course is for anyone who deals with customers on a face-to-face basis or over the telephone. It is designed especially for those with responsibility for ensuring customer issues are dealt with promptly, politely, fairly and firmly.
Why should you attend?
All of us have experienced the hard done-by customer before and have no doubt felt their wrath as they allow emotion to over-ride their rationality. They feel an insane urge to have a go at the first member of staff they meet, regardless of whether they can help or not.
Attendance on this course will enable you to deal better with anger and aggression directed towards you. You will learn how to bring a greater degree of skill and confidence to situations involving difficult customers and be better placed to convert complaints into opportunities.
