Customer Excellence

In an ever-changing world, are we expecting more and more from our front-line advisors? And are they equipped to deliver it?

Customer expectations today are higher than ever, and so is the competition among the businesses that want their custom. It means the spoils often go to the company that builds the greatest rapport and delights the customer.

Frontline advisors need to know how to build a great rapport and high level of trust with customers. These not only influence the immediate conversation but the entire customer relationship.

This full day face to face training workshop explores various aspects of the advisor role and how to deliver that first-class experience.

So, whether you want to improve the rapport and trust with your customer, master the art of difficult conversations, communicate more effectively with vulnerable customers or explore how to connect emotionally with your customer, this training has it all.
