Description And Objectives

This training aims to share (or remind) the principles of effective interpersonal communication and to provide a proven 8-step methodology for successfully managing a dissatisfied client. Note that this methodology can also be applied to other contexts of tense relationships between individuals.

The training will also help to better understand the process of request management, enabling managers and coordinators to better manage each step with message templates to communicate as the process progresses, in order to standardize responses and minimize stress when it comes to saying "no" or announcing bad news (such as delays or cancellations, for example) to the person making the request.

Objectives :

During this training, you will discover a proven methodology from the call center industry that will enable you to communicate effectively by actively listening and focusing on the only thing you control in this situation: the relationship with the person making the request or expressing dissatisfaction.

You will also have access to tools and methodologies to reduce your own or your team's stress in managing requests and dissatisfied individuals, regardless of their nature.
