5 Star Customer Service Excellence

Course Duration: 2 Days

Introduction

If Jackie Chan and Angeline Jolie walked into your workplace today, how would you behave? If you are like most people, you would drop whatever you were doing and approach them, smiling, ready, and eager to serve them.

What about the rest of your customers? Perhaps you may treat them exactly the same way, or perhaps, that would not happen? In general, customer service has become an overused corporate jargon and rarely lived up to.
