Detailed Course Description

Conducting business by phone requires a different skill set than dealing with people face-to-face. Listening becomes even more important when you cannot see your customers. If you fail to listen, it is impossible for customer service professionals to pick up on the nonverbal cues that happen when you can see the other person. 

This course will teach customer service professionals how to maintain a professional and friendly phone demeanor, keep an ongoing dialogue, asking appropriate questions, and responding appropriately to customers. This course will also teach other important skills to have when interacting with customers by phone.
