Customer Service Training Exercise
In this facilitated process, participants individually create three customized questions based on the information presented in this segment and role-play with a partner. Then the entire training team splits into two sections: the customer consulting group and service provider consultant group. Each team selects a representative and coaches him or her through a role-playing session. This exercise provides tools on how to move from objections to gaining agreement and gives insights into what we often forget about effective communication when we are in front of customers.
