Communicating Effectively
Customer Service
Overview
How do you make sure that the customers are receptive to us? Approach each interaction with the right mindset AND with a strong set of communication skills — presence, listening, questioning, relating, and checkbacks.
Customers expect to be heard. Customers expect to be dealing with a competent, knowledgeable rep. Customers expect you to be accurate. Convey empathy and competence, build trust, and close the call with excellent communication skills.
