Superior Service Culture

PROGRAM :How to Build a Superior Service Culture

Back to Customer Service Courses

BACKGROUND

Today, as more and more products are filling the market place, it has become difficult for companies to compete to achieve a greater market share. Much money has been spent on advertising and recruitment of sales personnel to generate better revenue, but when products whose brands have no impact in the market place, such companies will lose out ultimately. In fact, if one was to look at matters in it s right perspective, there is actually no necessity to spend milions of ringgit on A & P, when the customers were there in the first place, and all that was needed was to accord them the due attention, with a smile. This regretfully, many companies fail to do and as such, the attrition rate of customers become greater by the months, not because of inferior product quality, but because of the nonchalant attitude of the staff.

The manner in which the staff treat its customers is a clear reflection of the people at the top who has failed to walk the talk. So this two-day programme is to outline certain strategic approaches to enable, and empower your staff to perform better in meeting clients’ expectation.

It costs five times to find a new customer than to retain one. Therefore, it is time to CONSOLIDATE your customer base.
