The Customer Service Foundation Program focuses on the fundamentals, general knowledge, terminology and BASIC concepts used in Customer Service.


Practical, concise help for dealing with customers: The course and its accompanying workbook begins with outlining several customer service techniques and describes each of them.

Course Description

Some are very basic and some are more advanced, particularly those that deal with dealing with frustrated customers or preventing problems with customers from escalating and becoming a time consuming event.

But that's not only the meat of the book or what makes the book so useful. The book contains dialogues between customers and staff, showing how the various situations SHOULD be handled. Each one is to the point and the information for each one can be assimilated and learned from in a few minutes. This book can be used in so many ways. You can sit and read it through. You can browse it and just read the parts that you want help with. You can read one or two dialogues and learn one or two skills a day, since each segment really stands on its own. It's a great source book to use in customer service training because it's all there -- techniques, and how to use them. It's quick to learn from. And it's real. The dialogues will strike home with you. There is no better, faster book to learn how to deal with customers (especially the difficult customers), it's a one-stop-shop for ideas. You won't be disappointed: Customer service is for everyone.
