Product Description

Produced specifically for front-line employees, this practical training demonstrates how to turn a customer's frustration or complaint into understanding. The program will empower your staff with a clear and memorable checklist of Service Recovery Tools  that will help them handle any challenging customer situation in the heat of the moment. From showing empathy and truly listening, to exploring with permission phrases and presenting options, employees learn how to match the signals they send to the words they say. 

Employees will learn how to use the Right Words to:

1) Send the 3 Signals: "I Care," "I Understand," and "You can Trust me to take care of this"

2) Stay Polite and Professional:

  • When a Customer is Rude
  • When a Customer is Clueless
  • When you can't say, "Yes" to a Customer Request

The training proves that having the exact words handy in a tense situation can make all the difference. Often, successful service recovery depends not only on WHAT you say, but HOW  you say it.
