Back to other courses »About the Course
Why has Singapore airlines been voted the most admired company in Asia? Why has it been voted Singapore’s top company every year consistently since 1993? Because of its top-tier customer service. Not only is this good for its customers, it is empowering for its staff. Singapore airlines knows this. They know what great customer service is all about.
But what makes service great?
Consider an activity of service such as ‘being served a cup of coffee’. How is it that in one instance a person could serve you a cup of coffee and you could feel very satisfied and well cared for, while in another, a person could serve you the same cup of coffee and you feel like complaining and never returning to the café?
You see, an activity can be performed perfectly by two different people, but the level of service can be totally different. Why? What is it that determines the level of service? Well one thing is for sure, it’s not just the coffee.
There is a lot of confusion about what constitutes great service and this is where we come in.
This course demonstrates that real service is far more than ‘technique’; it is more than just performing an activity well. In fact, it is the underlying key to both customer and job satisfaction.
We will highlight the false ideas which limit service and impact negatively on people. You will be given practical directions to raise both your level and quality of service and customer care. You will understand the importance of flexibility in customer service and the freedom and satisfaction that comes from working outside the limits of a job description.
Be in no doubt: excellent service improves the experience for both the customer and the provider. It is the bedrock for success in any organisation. It distinguishes you from your competitors, secures customer loyalty, empowers and liberates staff and enhances both their morale and motivation.
