On-Demand Self-Paced Customer Service Training
If you are looking for proven customer service training, this course is a great place to get started.
Welcome to Customer Service – The Basics
As a consumer, you’ve experienced both good and bad customer service. So you know what you like and what irritates you. The type of experience your consumers have can make or break your business. In order for you and/or your employees to provide the best customer service, every service provider must understand the fundamentals.
Why Is this important?
It’s easy to assume you’re providing good customer service. But how do you ensure your customers think your service is good, how do you identify areas that need improvements to make it even better, and do so consistently?. Employees need to be equipped to understand what’s expected of them in order to provide the best customer service. Think about how many businesses you interact with on a daily basis and how many of them provide truly memorable service?
Does your team need more than the basics? Learn about our comprehensive and highly interactive certification course—Maximizing the Customer Experience.

Testimonials
I have learned a lot from this training and it all makes a whole lot of sense Thank You. Lynn Fuller
During this training I truly began to appreciate that customer service goes far beyond simply being pleasant, a good listener and making a sale. To achieve a quality outcome with a customer experience you have to go above and beyond. It was interesting to see how sometimes going the extra mile, even if it costs a little more in the moment, it can truly impact the customer for life. I also appreciated the fact that it is important to understand how your internal dialog plays a huge role in the relationship you will have with the customer. As a nurse these scenarios can be applied in every-day interactions and it is important to understand that even as a nurse I am providing a service/good to a customer, my patient. Christie Yasofsky
