HANDLING CHALLENGING PHONE CONVERSATIONS
Most frustrated people may come across as being overly assertive or aggressive at the beginning of a call because they want to ensure that you know how they are feeling. Therefore, it is very important to listen to what they are saying before you start to respond or attempt to resolve their issues.
This course provides you with a framework in managing challenging phone conversations effectively, using techniques such as vocal control, empathetic listening and asking the right questions. Participants will also learn how to engage in a conversation based on relationship-building, instead of just trying to ‘resolve the issue’.
Handling Challenging Phone Conversations helps to develop customer relationships that build customer loyalty and confidence through the following areas:
- Know your customers, products and services
- Establish rapport over the phone
- Avoid service pitfalls
- Recognise service and sales opportunities
- Handle service challenges effectively
This programme has been accredited by IBF to be conducted over face-to-face and over virtual classroom.
