Confident communication with customers

Practical training for the assistant

This training is held in German.
In times of customer review platforms, recommendation marketing and social media, the opinion of the individual customer has become a powerful tool. As an assistant or receptionist, your appearance, your competence and your willingness to provide service are decisive factors in whether the customer is satisfied. In this training course, you will learn how professional customer orientation works and what you need to pay attention to.

Contents

  • Customer satisfaction is measurable and can be increased.
  • Analysis: Who are my customers and what do they expect?
  • Recognize customer needs: What does my customer need to feel well looked after, understood and taken seriously?
  • Proactive customer contact: approaching the customer, recognizing needs before they are expressed, living the "welcome".
  • Serving external customers and internal customers alike.

Intensive service readiness and solution orientation

  • Take responsibility.
  • Keep calm in stressful situations.
  • Please smile! Intercept annoyances and unfriendliness and find solutions together with the customer.
