Effective Client Communication

This workshop looks at the importance of communication and how to communicate appropriately and effectively in different situations. We explore verbal and non-verbal communication and think about why a customer may become unhappy with your service.

Why book this workshop?

So often it’s not what you say, its how you say it that can make a huge difference when providing a service to your client or customer.

 

You trust your staff to deliver your product or service in the most professional of ways, but sometimes its not so easy for a person to know or even understand the correct or most appropriate way to speak to different people. This workshop addresses this problem.

  • How to communicate appropriately and effectively in different situations

How it works

This workshop can be structured to suit you needs, it can be delivered as a 1 day workshop or can be run as a series of shorter meetings.

 

We will talk to you about your business to get an idea of the the services you provide and what training areas you would like addressed, then we tailor the course to meet your needs.

 

The courses are usually delivered at your premises but if you don’t have a suitable training room we can arrange a convenient training venue.
