Building a customer focused culture

Organisations that take customer service seriously realise that they will always have the competitive edge as their customers don’t do business with them because they have to…. they go to them because they want to!   If you’re an organisation that takes your customer seriously you think about the service you provide, making it easier for your customers to do business with you at every opportunity.  Every contact with your customer is seen as an opportunity to improve, whether it’s a compliment or a complaint – it helps you be more aware of what the customer really wants from you.

This workshop isn’t a ‘show you how to do’ service event.  It’s a workshop that makes you think about your customer service strategy and the experience that you want your customers to receive.  The day will help you to focus on who your customer is, why they shop with you and how you cater for their needs.   It will also start you to think about the structures that you need to have in place to show that you are serious about providing excellent service.
