What do we mean by customer service training?

The terms customer care , customer service and customer services are often used interchangeably and mean different things for different people.

So here's our definition.

Everyone within a business does a job directly or indirectly in helping look after and retain customers. So trainers or managers may have to purchase or run events which are about winning hearts and minds, developing a customer service attitude and some customer service skills to make their customers day. Customer service in this context touches on winning, preotecting and growing business, by being the best in every contact we have with customers.

You may be considering or running training for your customer services department, which often does business by telephone. Here customer services come into play when a customer has a query, a problem or a complaint with your products or services. In fact, with some businesses, such as utilities and commodities, the only human contact will be when something goes wrong. Training here will need to involve some attitudinal training but is likely to include some telephone skills training and coaching as well.
