Telephone Etiquette & Customer Care

22-07-2024 - 26-07-2024 3300 Abu Dhabi

 

Course Introduction:

 

We are all 'Customers' and more aware of the greater choices available to us in purchasing anything, compared to twenty years ago. If we just look at the U.A.E. the variety available to us today is phenomenal - whether it be restaurants, cinemas, food outlets, shopping malls, fashion stores, etc. We have virtually unlimited choice, and the choices grow day-by-day. 


Therefore it is vitally important for businesses to, not only attract first time customers, but more importantly, to turn those customers into 'repeat and return' customers. Millions of dollars are lost every year because of poor handling of customers by company staff. But customers who are consistently well handled will return again and again - bringing you more business. Bad telephone technique and poor customer care will lose you customers. If statistics show that it costs approximately eight times as much to find a new customer, compared to keeping an existing one, isn't it in your interest to try to retain and expand your existing customer base through providing top class service?
