Is the Customer Always Right Certification

Is the Customer Always Right?

While customers are undoubtedly the most important asset of any business, the question remains if consumers are indeed always right. Coined by Harrod Gordon in 1909, 'the customer is always right' is an old and widely accepted adage in the world of business.

However, as crucial as customer satisfaction is and as important as customers are to business success, there are times and situations where consumers are not always right. In fact, blindly following the assumption that consumers are always right can lead to adverse implications.

The video course on 'Is the Consumer Always Right?' discusses and debates both sides of the coin and helps you decide on the best ways to resolve situations at work.

The course topics cover:

  • Why customers are invaluable to the growth and development of your business and how to treat your customers well
  • The benefits of treating your customers with attention and respect and how it helps
  • Learning to identify situations where the consumer may not always be right and how to differentiate between the legitimacy of the complaint and poor customer service
  • How to weigh the pros and cons of the situation and include important considerations
  • How blindly favouring the consumer can lower the morale of your employees
  • Useful strategies and tips that you can use when you find that a consumer is not right
  • How to determine if you can resolve the situation or if you should let the consumer go

Benefits of studying the course include:

  • You will be able to evaluate a situation by gathering details
  • You become aware of the importance of customers and why you should offer reliable customer service
  • You are better placed to back up employees when a consumer is abusive or abrasive
  • You learn how to differentiate between solid customers who are worth retaining and others that you can let go
  • You learn how to manage difficult consumers and regulate your body language in stressful situations

Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

The course is broken down into 5 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

Once you have completed all 5 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 5 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

The pass mark for the test is 70%.

If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

Once you have been awarded your certificate it is valid for life. The certificate does not expire or need renewing.

his is a really great course, its content is really useful.

It’s great value for money and it’s not at all stressful. It’s so easy to understand, yet it covers complex aspects regarding safe practices. It let’s you stop and start the course, which means I can still work in a full time job, which won’t effect me financially.

This has been the best decision to complete this course. I’m really keen to learn more skills, and maybe do a few more courses to expand my skills set. I will most definitely be using New Skills Academy to help me!

This short course was actually very informative and interesting, and learned far more than what you can read on the internet. The modules are an excellent way to learn, as you can complete each module in your own time.

I feel as though I’ve learned a lot from this course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in starting a career in alternative medicine or as a starter in your own business. This certificate can lead onto other courses in this field.

The customer service was excellent, quick and easy to apply online and even better, you can pay by PayPal.

My dream has come true. Eventually I found this online course after searching for years in my area where none of the colleges provided it and it is necessary to get my dream job.

I got an incredible discount and what I like the best I got a lifetime access to the course, so there is no rush and I can revisit any time to revise as well.

Excellent support and immediate response to emails, I am very pleased. The course material is written in an easily understandable way, no hidden fees and mobile friendly so I can learn anywhere.

I undertook the Data Protection Certificate course in May 2017. I found the course to have a very in depth amount of detail on Data Protection and the law and legislation around it. It also went into detail on the new Data Protection Act coming in 2018.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a course with value for money and also to bulk up their knowledge and perhaps perusing a career in IT or security. The course is audited and comes with a certificate on completion which you are able to print yourself or have one sent out to you for a small fee.
