Customer Engagement Training

Unlocking Excellence: Customer Engagement Training for Elevated Service and Satisfaction

Customer engagement Training is a business communication connection between an external stakeholder (consumer) and an organization (company or brand) through various channels of correspondence. This connection can be a reaction, interaction, effect or overall customer experience, which takes place online and offline. The term can also be used to define customer-to-customer correspondence regarding a communication, product, service or brand. However, the latter dissemination originates from a business-to-consumer interaction resonated at a subconscious level.

Online customer engagement is qualitatively different from offline engagement as the nature of the customer’s interactions with a brand, company and other customers differ on the internet. Discussion forums or blogs, for example, are spaces where people can communicate and socialize in ways that cannot be replicated by any offline interactive medium. Online customer engagement is a social phenomenon that became mainstream with the wide adoption of the internet in the late 1990s, which has expanded the technical developments in broadband speed, connectivity, and social media. These factors enable customer behavior to regularly engage in online communities revolving, directly or indirectly, around product categories and other consumption topics. This process leads to a customer’s positive engagement with the company or offering, as well as the behaviors associated with different degrees of customer engagement.

Customer engagement includes the following courses:

Uncovering The Science Of Sales

Synopsis

Sales professionals face a variety of challenges in the journey to close a sale. It can be very daunting speaking to customers and cold-calling prospects. The ensuing anxiety can cause a passive sales approach: sending out emails or waiting for customers rather than being pro-active in seeking and contacting them. Inexperienced sales professionals may ‘feature-dump’. This creates a loss of customer interest and their own confidence in pursuing a sale further. Furthermore, despite applying good sales techniques, some are unable to close sales because they poorly represent their brands or do not present themselves well. Misalignment of brand message can lead a customer to mistrust the product or company which denies one a sale.

Left unaddressed, such obstacles to sound sales performance can be highly detrimental to your organisation’s performance. Sales training is the game-changer that dramatically improves your sales team’s productivity.
