Course Description
As budgets and staffing are reduced, an agency’s ability to provide quality customer service becomes all the more challenging. Customers interact with an agency through letters, telephone calls, emails, and in-person. Each time, they form an opinion about that agency. There are simple steps you can take to ensure that those opinions are positive. This course will teach front-line personnel tools to increase customer satisfaction in each mode of communication.
