Training Approach: Creating Buy-in

Most training participants know what good and bad customer service is, but they may not provide it in their jobs. They may not have made the mental connection between what they know about customer service and their specific jobs. They also may not be clear on what to do to provide great customer service. Our customer service training provides both the awareness and the clarity that they need to give excellent customer service. Our customer service workshop creates this awareness by creating "buy-in" with the participants. This is done by having them build their own Customer Service for Excellence Model based on their experience of good and bad customer service. They then gain clarity of what to do in their jobs by creating specific strategies, procedures and "next steps" based on the created Customer Service for Excellence Model. This process will establish good customer service habits in your workplace. The result will be individual plans and tactics for how to work with their customers so that the customers feel that they are "well taken care of."

We find that this training approach is far more effective than most customer service training programs. We believe that the way to ensure your "customer service agents" provide great customer service is to go beyond technique and the "suppose tos". Our focus is on getting "buy-in" from the workshop participants and getting their 100 agreement as to what things they can do to create excellent customer service experiences for their customers.

This extension includes developing a Customer Service Policy that the group collectively creates and a look at what each person needs to be supported to provide great customer service. This makes a powerful workshop even more powerful.

Custom Workbook

At the end of this workshop attendees will create a model of what good and bad customer service is. They themselves will have established principles for providing excellent customer service. Though each group typically comes up with fairly common responses, the wording and perspective is unique to each group. In order to ensure greater buy-in the workbook is handed out after the session and includes their ideas and decisions about establishing excellent customer service. This is what make this workshop powerful and special.
