3 Fantastic Things About Our Online Customer Service Training

Here’s what our current customers tell us are the three most fantastic things about our customer service eLearning.

We show our three best features in this short video.

1. Custom website and branding.

When your employees log in to their training, it feels like they are taking the training within your company because we give you a unique URL and upload your logo.

2. Our training is interactive.

John Hancock said,

“The thing that struck me about Myra Golden’s eLearning modules was how engaging they were.  You are asked to actively participate in each module, and there are action items you take away. Our participants comment about how the time flies when they are taking them – another indication of their engagement!”  Kristin Augusta | Sr. Operations Manager, Shared Services Training & Development, John Hancock 

3. Reporting is super easy.

With just one click you can pull up progress reports, so you know when your employees have logged in, if they completed the training, and how they are progressing through the courses.

How did 2017 go for you? Employees still struggling with how to control calls with unreasonable customers? Your customer experience still not where you know it needs to be? Still trying to get your people to convey empathy? I know. The struggle is real.

Let me give your people the tactics, skills, and inspiration they need so they can deliver experiences that make you feel proud.

I try to make my training easy – for you, your employees, and even for me, by offering it online. I still do onsite training, of course, but online training saves time and money. And it keeps me off of planes.

There’s no sense stressing over 2017’s results. Let me help your workgroup thrive in 2018.

How to Acknowledge Customer Concern- and Why You Must

I was trying to check in for my American Airlines flight on my phone. I was able to get one boarding pass, but not the other. After several failed attempts, I called American and explained my problem. I was transferred quickly, and the person I ended up with looked into my itinerary and then she said:

“Ms. Golden, this is a system error. You’re checked in all the way through to Tulsa. I don’t want you to worry at all. Your flight is confirmed, and you’re checked in. You have a few options for getting your boarding pass (she gave me three easy options), but I want you to know it’s all good. You’re confirmed and checked in.”

“I don’t want you to worry at all” was precisely the right thing to say to me. The employee zeroed in on my concern that my flight wasn’t confirmed, and she entirely used the right words to acknowledge my fear and to put me at ease. By recognizing my concern, she made me feel like she understood me. This feeling of understanding gave me a sense of rapport with her.

In my all-new Telephone Skills e-learning course, I teach your employees how to put customers at ease and build rapport over the phone by acknowledging their customer’s concern, just like the lady at American did for me.

5 Mistakes Your Employees Cannot Make on the Phone

Bored Telephone Worker

I just finished reviewing calls for a client I’ll be working with in Chicago. Before all of my onsite customer service training workshops, I like to listen to a random sample of calls between employees and customers. This call review helps me to know exactly where to focus in my training.

In today’s call review I noted 5 communication mistakes customer service representatives tended to make repeatedly. These mistakes happened multiple times with the same employees, and I heard these errors being made by several different employees.

Here’s what I summed up on my legal pad after my call review.

  1. Employees often don’t speak in complete sentences. I’d hear things like, “Name?” “Zip code?” and “Serial number?”
  2. There was a lot of overtalking and interrupting. Employees would literally cut customers off mid-sentence or just over-talk them to make sure their point was made. That made me cringe.
  3. Dead-air space wasn’t handled well. While employees were busy looking through notes or trying to find something on the computer, they just let the customer hang on. I could hear keys clicking, gum smacking and occasional sighs, but there was almost no verbal communication during the dead-air space.
  4. The worst part of the calls for me was that there was no personal connection. Customers would often go right into their issue, and then the agent would say something like this: “What’s your serial number?” There was no acknowledgment of the customer’s frustration, no “I’m happy to help you with this,” They just went into probing.
  5. At times I felt like the customer was made to feel stupid. It was like the customer was asking “dumb” questions, though all of the questions seemed reasonable to me. Employees would come back harsh or condescending.

This customer service group is in urgent need of my “intervention, ” and in exactly 16 days they will get it. I can’t wait to land in Chicago and give these employees the human relations skills they need to talk to customers with care, concern, and friendliness.

When you enroll your employees in the online version of my “customer service intervention” training right now, imagine the benefits you’ll receive. Employees who struggle with apathy, rudeness or harshness will get the empathy training, telephone skills, and human relations skills they need and they will soften and deliver a better customer experience.

You can get these benefits and more – without having to buy my plane ticket, foot my hotel bill and pay my full-day training fee. If you’re ready to take your customer experience to the next level, check out my eLearning. Let’s get to work on this together.
