Professional Switchboard, Reception And Front line Skills
Course Description
Why is the most visible team in the company also often the least experienced, with little formal training? Switchboard, reception and front line employees handle the brunt of the company’s first impressions with their clients, and everybody knows that a poor first impression leaves the client doubting the credibility of the company as a whole, and possibly deciding to take their business elsewhere. Demanding clients in today’s high pressured business world have no patience for de-motivated ‘dullness’ in their first contact with potential service providers.

That is why BTS offers this course to empower switchboard, reception and frontline personnel with the skills to excite and delight customers and impress management beyond their expectations.
