Acclaim for ACRS

"I just wanted to commend you on a fantastic Customer Relationship Skills programme which I had the privilege of attending together with my team at Multiflora. It now makes complete sense to me why our employees were raving about this training! Henry is an absolutely marvelous, skilled facilitator and we all learnt a lot from him.

A big THANK YOU also for the DVD, you so generously made available to all delegates. I think it will go a long way to reinforcing the training with our employees.

I am very excited to be sending the rest of our employees on the programme – many of them are experiencing training of this nature for the first time and I am pleased that it is of such a standard that they will be enriched, both personally and professionally."

Advanced Customer Relationship Skills (ACRS)

There seems to be general agreement amongst most people - good service is now a standard expectation. It follows that most people are adamant that they themselves provide good service to others. Strangely though, the same people report that they often receive poor service from others. It seems that Father Time has been unsuccessful in closing this gap.

The real issue is that addressing customer service issues too often fall into the low priority or "nuisance" category. Perthaps there just isn't time, but more often it's easy to ignore the soft issues when the bottom line is ticking over. It is often then that most of the damage is being done. It can be very costly when management remain ignorant of how staff are really treating their customers - the very same customers that are keeping the company in business.

It has been shown in countless organisations that only proactive intervention will change a poor service level culture in any organisation. A characteristic of the human race is that we tend to be big on expectation but not quite as big on delivery – similar perhaps to our relationships. Very few organisations have a true “customer service culture”, a system of doing things, and a method of reversing bad habits.

That’s why we’ve designed, perfected and continue to receive orders for our uplifting 2-day “Advanced Customer Relationship Skills” (ACRS), delivered by quite extraordinary facilitators.
