CUSTOMER SERVICE WORKSHOPS AND HOSPITALITY TRAINING

Maintaining a reputation for excellent customer service requires a constant effort at developing a culture of valuing clients and training CSRs to put forth the best practices that get recognized. For tourist locations, hospitality training in Europe is also key. Let's be honest, good customer service seldom gets publicized, but bad incidents often go viral. From London, Manchester, and Leeds in the UK, Dublin in Ireland, Paris in France, Lisbon and Porto in Portugal, Milan, Florence, Rome, and Venice in Italy, Athens in Greece, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, or anywhere else in Europe, THEY have you covered!

CSR WORKSHOPS FOR EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT


Our programs are designed to help enhance the skills that are required to improve results and to instill a desire to achieve those results. Often, the actual employees often don't even understand what goals that they should have. They instead are stuck in the middle of each call and lose sight of that overall goal.

THE GOALS OF EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

MAKING CSR SKILLS A DRIVER FOR SUCCESS

  1. Make a Personal Connection - Customers get frustrated by push button systems and the impersonal way that they feel companies deal with them. When speaking to a human being they should feel that connection and feel appreciated.
  2. Developing Trust - A good CSR should instill the idea that they, individually, as well as the company overall, wants the customer experience to be a positive one and that you want the customer to be happy with the results.
  3. Paying Attention - A great CSR should pay attention and listen. This active listening allows a client to feel that they've gotten their message out. This gives a feeling of empathy and a satisfaction for having the grievance heard. Likewise, listening can help to anticipate the needs of the client and potentially offer alternative solutions.
  4. Returning Clients - A positive experience can result in the client returning with future purchases. This helps to smooth the process for future purchases. More sales should be the goal of just about anything you do.
  5. A Positive Vibe - If you can go a step beyond the expected, this can result in positive reviews and viral postings. This can come back in many ways to benefit the company.
why comedy

WHY COMEDY
This is a customer service training workshop to help your CSRs to think outside the box. Comedy is a great tool to achieve the mental freedom to do this. Regardless of current skills, we tailor to your team in the areas that require the most work. We can use real-world scenarios and role play to enhance their skills!


Our programs tend to be very interactive and get people speaking with one another. After all, the best way to learn something is to actually use it. This can be done for small groups as well as for large groups. depending on the size of group we would bring a different number of facilitators.


We can provide facilitators of different levels of experience. Our basic facilitators have a lot of experience with such workshops but don't necessarily have the business experience to innovate and shift with the specific questions someone might ask. This is great if you have no major problems or are trying to refresh concepts. If there are issues and you need someone with more experience, we bring heavy hitters to your group. This is someone who can walk you through more advanced issues and can help overcome whatever problems you are facing.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
One of the keys to any corporate training program in Emotional Intelligence. Simply put, it is the ability to understand your feelings, the feelings of others, and how to manipulate those to great effect. Having a high EQ can make all the difference in so many different circumstances.

emotional intelligence

We have a variety of programs that we provide that are geared towards different skills and that can be one time events or repeating programs to help engender the culture of great customer service.

CSR AND HOSPITALITY SKILLS TO BE DEVELOPED

JUST SOME OF THE SKILLS WE LOOK TO DEVELOP

  1. Enthusiasm - If you don't have enthusiasm for your product, then why should anyone else?
  2. Emotional Intelligence - Understanding the person you are speaking to, learning to influence that person, can help in most any situation.
  3. Conflict Reolution - Often people speak with you about problems. Understanding their situation, empathizing, finding ways to resolve the situation without putting your company in a problematic position, are all keys to success.
  4. Role Play - We help by having participants take on both sides of situations.
food venue

WE COME TO YOU !
We come to whatever venue that you choose. This can include any conference or meeting space, area restaurant, hotel, convention hall or even someone's home. While most companies might give you specific requirements, the nature of our programs is to teach mental agility, adaptability, and how to go with the flow. Problems with venues become a positive influence on the outcome, within reason. We can provide sound equipment, etc., as well, but for an additional fee, though we usually opt to use the venue's equipment or like going low-tech to make it more about the people. This will be part of the discussion about your needs, of course.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

1

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CHANGE IN THE PEOPLE ATTENDING TO ACHIEVE YOUR SUCCESS? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS? WHERE IS YOUR ROI COMING FROM AND WHAT KPIs WOULD YOU CONSIDER PROOF OF SUCCESS?

The first step is to determine your overall needs for the whole event as well as more specifically the part of your gathering that you would be hiring us for. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns for the organization. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you the most. We will discuss with you different options to achieve the results you are looking for and how to see that success. Challenge us! We can then challenge your team to take their abilities to the next level!

2

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY PEOPLE?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

3

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
