Complaint Communications
- 4 CPD Hours
- Introduction Level
- Online or Face-to-Face Workshop
Summary
Statistics indicate that a customer with cause for complaint concerning the product or service they purchase, is more loyal to the brand if their complaint is well handled, in comparison to a customer with no cause for complaint.
Complaints present an opportunity to generate customer loyalty and improve the service offering. An important contributor to these outcomes is the quality and style of communication adopted by complaint handlers during their exchanges with customers and their representatives.
This workshop is designed to provide the tools to enable the complaint handler to achieve the objectives of successfully resolving the complaint and enhancing the customer relationship in the process.
The workshop is highly interactive and specimen complaints can either be supplied by the trainer or the client as required.
Who should attend?
Claim handlers of all levels of experience and other operational staff who may benefit from enhanced complaint handling skills.
