Dale Carnegie said it very well: “No matter what your line of work, even if it is in one of the technical professions, your degree of success depends on your ability to interact effectively with other people.” In customer service, we take care of our customer’s needs and hence, improving your communication skills can bring huge rewards, such as improving your self-esteem, being able to engage your customer in conversation and assisting your customer efficiently.
In this programme, we will provide you with tips and techniques to create positive first impressions, structure conversations, read, interpret and use body language effectively.
