NEW - Customer Service is not a department. It is a philosophy to be embraced by every employee, from the CEO to the most recently hired. The average company loses up to half of its customers every year due to poor customer service, equating to $75 billion in annual losses. Having well trained and skilled employees who can handle a variety of situations while reflecting a positive image for the company are a true asset. Poor employee behavior or employees who lack customer service skills can damage a company’s reputation.
