jml Training and Consultancy Recommends First Class Customer
Service Training
As
markets are shrinking and more people are being made redundant it is of paramount
importance that employees receive customer service training.
March
17th 2009 – As a result of the worldwide economic downturn it is even
more important that businesses maintain a very high standard of customer service
care. If customers are not being looked after properly, they will be lost, whereas
with proper customer service there will be repeat business.
Philip
Suter of jml Training and Consultancy said, "Last week I had to sort out
a problem with some audio visual equipment we use as part of our training programmes.
I had to visit two retailers; one a large UK electrical retailer and the other
a company selling own brand Japanese merchandise.
In
both of these establishments I experienced a very high calibre of customer service,
with the sales assistants spending a lot of time trying to solve my problem and
not pushing for a new sale. The end result was that I returned to one of the two
retailers a day later to buy a new product and again because of some technical
problems setting it up, the sales assistant spent plenty of time to explain how
to connect it up and make it work as it should."
In
both cases these companies had trained their staff well. It means customers will
return again and again. However the market is getting much tougher and in many
cases there will be no second chance.
