Customer service training:

Customer orientation and confident communication

Further training in customer service at the Haufe Akademie can be an important lever for strengthening a company's competitiveness. After all, given the interchangeability of many services and products, service orientation is one of the few ways to set yourself apart from the competition. One thing is clear: how management deals with customers has a significant influence on their future purchasing decisions.

Customer service has many names in the company - customer service, customer care or customer support. Customer service managers are faced with a major challenge every day: they have to ensure that customers are satisfied and that their positive experience helps them to remain loyal to the company. Even and especially when things have not gone so well. Their areas of responsibility can be found in quality management, customer support and complaints management. Sales tasks can also fall under customer service, for example telephone acquisition.
