Rescuing Difficult Customers Certification

Rescuing Difficult Customers Certification

Even successful organisations will have to deal with dissatisfied customers or clients from time to time. Some of these customers will be antagonistic, often because they feel angry or upset and struggle to control their emotions. In other words, they are “difficult customers”.

Handling these customers requires strong communication skills, a calm manner and a willingness to work with the customer. In this course, you will learn how to resolve tense situations and resolve complaints quickly and efficiently.

You Will Learn:

  • The reasons why a customer may be dissatisfied with a product or service
  • How to use your voice to defuse a tense situation, and how remaining calm can improve a customer's mood
  • Why you should never attempt to deny responsibility
  • Why you should focus on the customer first, then the problem that has prompted their complaint
  • Why you should follow up with a customer after you have solved their problem

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • If you work in customer services, this course will help you deal with difficult customers and, in turn, reduce your stress levels
  • If you work in an office, this course will help you handle difficult visitors
  • If you work in sales, this course will help you defuse tense or awkward moments that may arise during a sales pitch
  • If you work in an occupation whereby you routinely come into contact with the public, such as the emergency services, this course will help you stay calm in challenging situations

Great insight into Fraud. Having only dealt with certain areas of fraud such as insurance fraud I am finding this course to be a great help to increase my knowledge and understanding of other types of fraud and areas/industries affected.

Hopefully this will help me to look at pursuing jobs that I would not have the confidence to apply for due to lack of knowledge or understanding.

I started the HR Management Diploma Level 2 – CPD Certified & IVCAS Accredited in November 2016, and I can say hand on heart it has been the best experience of my life.

Everything I have learnt here, every lesson, has been practical and useful, with real skills that are relevant to the real world, instead of hours of boring theory and history of the subject. Straight away we were learning real web design.

This course has been incredibly helpful and I have learnt far more than I could have ever imagined and I have only completed 4 of the 20 modules.

I did not realise how in depth make up actually was until I actually began the course.

I found the course material very beneficial and it gave me an understanding of how to use all aspects of make up.The videos are extremely helpful and the tutor on them is very precise and clear.

If your looking for a refresher or new career then this is a Fantastic site for courses. This is the second course I’ve done on this site and there very in depth and I’ve learnt so much. Very pleased. Would highly recommend.

Will be looking to do more courses in the future. Not only have I achieved two diplomas but I’ve got new services to offer in my salon for all my clients. Great time of year to have completed with christmas around the corner, my salons never been so busy and even taken bookings for 2017 already.

Would recommend to all!

Tammy Jarrett

I rate this course very highly as this is a very in-depth informative online course that increased my knowledge in Marketing and has given me plenty of useful information to apply to my work.

It had a good framework of information followed by a worksheet so that you could test the knowledge that you’ve just learned. It provided a great deal of information broken down into easy to digest sections and was good value for money as well.

I would definitely recommend this course to others and I know that my brother has taken another course using this website also.

I really enjoyed taking time to complete this Floristry diploma course online. I have been flower arranging for a few years now and wanted to improve my knowledge and skills. The course was very detailed and the assignments were good, some very creative, I found the history very interesting and how the different periods used flowers for decoration. I am really interested in wedding flower design modules fourteen and fifteen were of particular interest to me. I also found the starting your own business section very helpful. I would definitely recommend for anyone interested in Floristry to take the course.
