Seminar goal

Communication by telephone is in many service companies a dominant way of communicating with customers. This type of business communication has its specificities and laws which we have to be familiar with if we want to offer high-quality services. A satisfied customer will come back, while an unsatisfied one will tell about his dissatisfaction to at least 10 people. Therefore, high-quality services have a crucial place in keeping the old customers and getting the new ones, as well as in the customer’s perception of the company.
