    Slick and Confident Telephone Management Techniques

    You don’t hold the line when you think you may have dropped a call.  No, you are not one of those people who cuts your customer off at the knees mid-sentence when they are upset and need a quick solution to a problem.  When a call comes in you know exactly how to communicate in a clear, professional manner and with confidence; and always with the needs of the customer in mind.  Put yourself in your customer’s shoes.  Does this sound like what you would like to experience when you call on a company?  Imagine for just a moment that you are the person who answers the telephone when a difficult customer calls and you are the one who solves the customer’s query with an attitude of such cool, calm collectedness that by the end of the call you can almost feel the tension subside and tempers cooling down on the other end of the line as your customer thanks you for making their problem seem like water off a duck’s back.

    The techniques covered in this course will give you the confidence you need to be in control every time the phone rings.
