Positive under pressure

Maintaining a positive approach to client contact is essential for service professionals. We will show ways of keeping a confident attitude and approach at all times.

Managing Client Perceptions

“Our realities are merely the perceptions we place around our experiences”. Understanding client perceptions is the ‘key’ to ensuring excellent client service and a real focus on the wants and needs of the client. We will examine many situations relevant to the organisation and look at ways of reinforcing or changing the client’s perception of your organisation as being one of ‘the best’.

Essential time management and organisation

One of the essentials for increased productivity is organisation. We will show effective time management tips and techniques and how each person can achieve more in an average day.

All delegates will receive a 40-page workbook that doubles as an excellent post course reference manual.
