Product Description

Help your employees to excel in dealing with the public with this stimulating, fun-filled collection of customer service training games. Designed not only to teach important skills but also to spark enthusiasm and a high level of involvement in the participants, these games utilize entertaining and instructive techniques such as role-playing, charades, brainstorming, and debate. As a result of these exercises, employees will learn how to create a rapport with the customer, how to focus on the unique needs of individual customers, how to maintain a positive attitude, and more.

From the Back Cover

Supervisors and trainers: turn your customer service reps into your company's biggest asset! Because they're out there dealing with the public, frontline workers such as customer service representatives, salespeople, and technicians have the capacity to make a company look very bad...or very good. With the help of this creative collection of training games, you can be sure that your employees can be counted on to give your company a good reputation--employees who...know how to create a rapport with the customer or client; recognize and respond for the needs of every customer; go beyond the expected; bring enthusiasm and a love of what they do to the job. These easy-to-use games take just 15-30 minutes and include reproducible handouts and worksheets. You can use them either to enliven traditional customer service training programs or to add a training component to a regular staff meeting. Customer service training games will help your frontline service workers keep a positive attitude at all times; speak and communicate clearly, both on the telephone and face-to-face; deal with difficult customers, and much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to begin a carrer training customer service skills, 21 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Big Book of Customer Service Training Games: Quick, Fun Activities for Training Customer Service Reps, Salespeople, and Anyone Else Who Deals with Customers (Big Book Series) (Paperback)

In 2000, I made a decision to switch careers from management into training. I had some thoughts and ideals about what I wanted to achieve during my training sessions, but this is THE book that helped me achieve all that.

The concepts and team games within this book are invaluable and written in an easy to follow and fun format (My favourite is Tennis Shoe Alien). It has encouraged me to evolve as a trainer and given me the confidence to start devising my own ideals and team games.

This is the best book I have ever invested in and has paid off big time! A big thank you to the authors.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple facilitation advices, 16 Aug 2003

"erenikiz" - See all my reviews

I am a trainer and when I read this book I couldn't have any "Ahha, that is a good idea" type feeling. However it is well written and easy to read. I think it is ideal for a Customer Services supervisor who wants to add some flavor to his/her meetings with his/her team. There are of course 3-4 ideas that can be used broadly elsewhere.
