When you think of training, do you only think of it with a capital "T"? You are not alone, many of our customers come to us with the same thoughts, thinking that the only effective training is the formal, longer training class. We like to educate our customers that training can be so effective in small quick hits. For example, we find that our mystery shop's evaluations are perfect to use for swift training, not only for the manager/agent that was mystery shopped, but your entire team can learn from this exercise. For example, managers can take one or two points from a shop evaluation and use those topics to train the team. Managers can generically talk about the points that were made during the shop call and use our suggestions to train the team on how best to handle those points on future customer calls or situations.

We always want to provide our readership with educational materials that you can use to better the skills of your teams. In keeping with the theme that training can be quick and pointed topics and still have high value, below is an eBook that will aid you with some quick skill enhancements on problem resolution. One being: all customer problems are actually opportunities to win back their loyalty and create even stronger relationships than before the problem ever happened!
