Backgrounder

A good customer service is the lifeblood of any business. It is about
bringing customers back and sending them home happy and contented, happy
enough to spread positive feedback about the bank. The importance of a
good customer service is in forming good and long-lasting relationships
with its customers.

As competition continues to rock complacency --- services, not only
products are expected to be of the highest standard. This was realized
both by private and government institutions.

This Customer Service Training is a 1-day seminar designed to provide
participants with the basic skills and knowledge required in providing
good customer service among its clientele.

This Program has been designed specifically for bank frontliners to
further enhance their existing level of customer service
skills/competencies.

 At the end of the 1-day course participants should be able to:

•       Understand and appreciate the needs and expectations of a customer
•       Define /explain Customer Service thereby imbibing it and making
his contribution in making customer service the organization’s competitive
edge;
•       Properly handle customer complaints/concerns;
•       Write a commitment statement on how they can apply positive and
productive attitudes to cope with the demands of a customer service job.
