Telephone Skills for Customer Service & Sales Professionals
Introducing a convenient new Half-Day Seminar to help you project professionalism and dramatically increase your telephone presence

You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.



Program Description:

Great telephone skills are critical to your job performance! Make sure yours are as polished and professional as you are!

Sales and customer service over the phone is challenging!

You need to come across as helpful … knowledgeable … credible — and you need to do be able to do it from the second the conversation starts. You need to be able to reassure clients that you’re the right person to speak to, calm down unhappy or irate customers, and get through any mandatory scripts without turning callers off.

You have to be service-minded — and sales-focused — all while talking to someone who probably wishes he or she wasn’t on the phone at all! And let’s face it — you often have to do it all with one eye on the clock and another call waiting. That can be incredibly stressful!

When you attend Telephone Skills for Customer Service and Sales Professionals, we’ll help you take the stress out of phone calls and train your phone presence to be one of your greatest assets.

  • You’ll understand the different ways people communicate — and how to identify a customer or client’s communication style right away, so that you can adapt your own to fit.
  • You’ll learn how the right way of listening can make your job easier and less stressful … for you and for customers.
  • You’ll discover techniques for getting through mandatory scripts and checklists — without alienating clients and customers.
  • You’ll learn foolproof documentation techniques that can protect you — and your organization! — from future problems.
  • You’ll feel comfortable handling even the most difficult callers — from those who won’t start communicating to those who won’t stop yelling!
  • You’ll be able to put callers at ease — so you can start making sales or providing customer service!

How great is that? In just half a day, you’ll reenergize and learn vital skills that will TRULY make a difference in your telephone interactions.
