Customer Service and Retention Training Course


INTRODUCTION

All businesses, whether they operate face-to-face, over the phone or by e-mail, should strive to give their customers the best experience they can in order to maintain relationships, status and success. The average business loses around 20% of its customers annually, simply by failing to attend to customer relationships. The cost is staggering, but few businesses truly understand the implications. Customer retention also is on the minds of small and medium-sized businesses across the world. With rising customer acquisition costs, businesses need to innovate and assume a proactive role in retaining clients.

This course aims to provide those who work in the customer service industry with the information and skills needed to go above and beyond with the customer service that they provide. Participants will learn how to plan, develop, execute and assess a profitable customer retention strategy with an optimum blend of online & offline marketing and customer service.
