Telephone Training

Learn techniques to ensure you make the most of each opportunity available from every telephone enquiry.

The telephone is an important tool that provides the means by which business is delivered to your door. However, the telephone enquiry is an opportunity, not a guarantee of business.

It is amazing how quickly we form an impression about a person or company when our telephone call is answered.

Customers who are treated well will call again and bring you more business and most calls could be handled better if staff are taught to see things from the customer's perspective.

Our telephone training course will enable staff to develop techniques to ensure they make the most of each opportunity available from every enquiry.

It is relatively easy to bring about substantial improvements by using the techniques taught on this course.

Delegates find the workbook they complete on the course an invaluable tool. It is also an excellent reference to use in the workplace.

“You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”Anon.

Who will benefit:

All telephone users who could affect the reputation of your organisation.

Duration: 1 day

By the end of the telephone training course you delegates be able to…

  • project a professional image
  • build rapport
  • understand the needs of customers
  • use the principles of good telephone technique
  • make appropriate handovers and re-route calls
  • use questions and summarising skills without antagonising the caller
  • show effective listening skills
  • take and relay accurate messages
  • create the right impression
  • control the call
  • Use recovery strategies and how to turn a complaint into a happy customer
  • gain confidence in dealing with a wide variety of telephone calls
  • show personal commitment to quality and service.

Testimonials from our Telephone Skills Training Course.

“I learnt a lot about responding to different callers. The seminar kept me interested all the time with PowerPoint presentations and discussions. The workbook covered everything I wanted to know.”
P. Hetherington – David Smith St Ives Ltd.
“The course was educational and fun at the same time. Everything was very clear with good explanations.”G. Nantais – Nash Matthews.
“I enjoyed the course. The tutor was very nice and made everything interesting. I will definitely be more assertive when transferring calls through to people who don't want o take them. I will also not let my mood transmit to the person calling – if I am having a bad day.”
C. Creighton – Northern Ireland Office.
