Professional Receptionist Training

Professional Receptionist Training

At any given point in time during normal office hours you simply never know who next might walk through the door; and whether or not any of these individuals could be of strategic importance or even a threat to the organization – for all you know the next person to enter the premises could be a client or customer, a potential employee, a person with criminal intentions or even a spy from a competitor organization.  First impressions make lasting ones and to create a good impression of your business you need to have good security measures in place, a tidy and presentable waiting area, clean facilities and a professional and welcoming manner when dealing with the public at large.

The purpose of this course is to help you manage your reception area so as to ensure that it is clean and safe as per organizational standards as well as to see that the general presentation of the reception area is in line with corporate policies and branding.  You will also learn how to monitor and control stationery requirements.
