PROGRAM OUTLINE
CONSISTENCY IN ALL SERVICE ENCOUNTERS IS A MUST. PROCESS IS KEY.

More than just smiling or handling complaints, service becomes outstanding when the encounter is so memorable that customers just have to tell others about it. It could be the entire sensory experience that starts from the parking lot or it could be the act of one single frontline who made a lasting impact on the customer because he made them felt truly cared for. It is a kind of service that makes the customer realize that there was no need “to request” for service because the experience was flawless and effortless.  And it doesn’t only happen once or in one branch or with one person. You know the company’s commitment to service and how they value customers by their level of consistency in all service encounters, company-wide.

Prepare yourself and your team to be proactive and effective participants in every customer service encounter by doing things right the first time and doing the right things all the time!
