Telephone Skills Training Activity Collection

The Ultimate Guide to Telephone Skills

Most people need to talk on the phone at work – especially customer service employees. Customer service is of the utmost importance to a business, so telephone skills training is truly essential.

According to the Consumer Reports National Research Center, a recent survey on customer service shows that more than 50% of respondents said they hung up the phone before their problem had been addressed. This means that there is a large percentage of unhappy customers out there. Ensuring your clients are satisfied and taken care of means the difference between a business succeeding and failing. In reality, it all comes down to the skills people have on the front line – on the phone.
