Helping people buy
Customers are looking for the whole buying experience to be easy and pleasurable. In an increasingly competitive marketplace with high expectations from customers, service excellence is essential.
As customers become more sales savvy, success in telephone and internet sales in particular means very quickly gaining the confidence of potential customers. This workshop focuses on helping you delight customers by providing consistent service excellence, especially when they are unhappy.

The workshop is particularly useful to those in a customer service role who are also tasked with up- and cross-selling but who do not necessarily see themselves as sales people, hence the focus on helping people buy.
Working in the retail banking sector, Scott formed a strong framework of customer service sales and service standards, interacting with customers face-to-face or on the telephone, including via customer contact centres. He then used this expert knowledge and skill to train and coach colleagues. After leaving the corporate world Scott developed his experience as an independent trainer and coach with a wide range of businesses and sectors including retail, hospitality, travel, finance, technology, wholesale, education, charities, utilities, legal and manufacturing.
Any hidden costs? The only other costs are the trainer’s travel and (if really unavoidable) accommodation costs – and we’ll give you an estimate of these costs before you commit.
