"Our staff gleaned multiple ideas and creative approaches to working with patients and resolving issues within our own office. The videos were great reminders of the patient's perception of customer service. We would highly recommend your seminar to medical or dental offices who are striving to be the best they can be."

"We would like to thank you for the excellent job you did in the customer service seminars that you provided for our bank employees. The sessions were informative, challenging, and very beneficial to all who participated. The bank employees were very responsive. They are applying the ideas you have demonstrated. We would like to think that we are a better bank because of this training."

“We appreciate your courtesy, perseverance and professionalism in conducting our customer satisfaction survey. I spoke to several of our clients after the survey was conducted. They unanimously complimented your conduct of the survey. Personally, I appreciated your attention to detail in getting the survey responses back to us. They enabled me to develop the survey report that we are using both in developing our internal policies and in future marketing. We intend to repeat the survey next year to evaluate the changes we have made in our support policies."

Inexpensive and Easy Customer Service Training for Your Entire Staff

Are you considering customer service training for your organization but you’re concerned about the cost? Perhaps you are reluctant to invest in customer service training due to the high cost of travel, workshop fees, and missed time at work.

You want employees who are fully engaged in the art of exceptional customer service. Employees who attract customers, who live and breathe to make your customers happy! Employees who go the extra mile to excel, wowing the customer with their attention, actions and words. Employees who work together as a team to deliver outstanding customer service.

It makes sense to keep current customers happy. According to The American Marketing Association, cutting customer defection by 5% can improve profitability by 30%. It costs you five times as much to get a new customer as it does to keep an old one. Twenty-five out of twenty-six customers will not complain when treated badly. The central strategy of any organization should be to increase customer retention and reduce customer defection.

Do your employees need a customer service tune-up but are you wondering how you can afford to train ALL your staff? You can teach your entire workforce (and all the employees you hire in the future) the secrets of superior customer service with the Service First™ Video Library by Service Quality Institute® (SQI). The Service First™ Video Library provides an easy way to train any number of employees with immediate results and without the need of a big budget or huge investments of time.

The Service First™ Video Library is a powerful video training system based on group interaction. It is so easy! You won't have to invest in experienced facilitators or devote a lot of time. There are 12 videos/DVDs, 20 minutes each, that allow you to train your entire workforce in the art of exceptional customer service, with a new and fresh session each week or each month.

They are designed to make positive behavior changes. These behavior changes result in better service, satisfied content customers, and more profits for your business. The goals of the program are not simply to change the habits of individuals, but to strengthen a company culture built around service. Most businesses see an improvement in customer statistics within a month of completing the program.

A video can be completed at breakfast or lunch staff meetings, new employee orientation, weekly or monthly training sessions, small group workshops, sales clinics or any other time your organization can find a small segment of time for training. You might choose to conduct a 20-minute training session using just the videos, or up to 60 minutes with the included training materials (PowerPoint presentation, answer sheets, and discussion guides).

Thousands of companies throughout the world have successfully used the Service First® training technology to increase employee productivity, and gain more loyal and satisfied customers. Clients include some of the most demanding organizations on earth, such as Federal Express, Microsoft, 3M, Kodak, Miller Brewing and all branches of the United States military.
