DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A CUSTOMER SERVICE PROFESSIONAL?

No longer is a bright smile and a friendly hello enough to satisfy customers and keep them coming back. Employers and customers want Customer Service Professionals.
The A – Z of Service Excellence contains everything you need to not only survive but thrive in any role that requires you to interact with customers, including how to:
Communicate respectfully with people from all walks of life
Identify and address your own levels of stress
Achieve the customer service job of your dreams
Refresh a tired customer service approach
Apply these skills in any industry
Whether you are seeking your first customer service role or you’ve been providing customer service for years (or even decades), this book is for you.
