Customer Service Excellence Certificate

Customer service is not a department. It is a philosophy to be embraced by every employee, from the CEO to the most recently hired. The average company loses up to half its customers every year due to poor customer service, equating to $75 billion annually in losses.

Having well-training and skilled employees who can handle a variety of situation while reflecting a positive image for the company are a true asset. Poor employee behavior or employees who lack customer service skills can damage a company's reputation.

We offer training courses for employees to learn how to provide excellent customer service, for both internal and external customers. Each course is designed as a three-hour module, but courses can be combined to provide a customized certificate in Customer Service Excellence to best fit the needs of your organization.
