> About The Program

It is common for businesses to have many inbound and outbound phone calls within a day. For some, the telephone might be the only point of contact with customers. As such, employees should practise proper telephone etiquette. This includes answering calls quickly, giving prompt answers to customer enquiries and speaking politely.

Telephone etiquette is a basic element of customer service. It denotes the level of respect and care of a company towards its customer base. Learning and mastering good telephone service skills goes a long way in enhancing customer experience and naturally, customer and revenue retention.
