Why Every Employee Needs Customer Service Training with Samantha Irwin
The Growing your Team Podcast: Episode 244
Customer service skills are not just for employees with Customer Service job titles or employees whose primary responsibility is interacting with clients. All employees need customer service skills.
Why? Because each employee has the potential to cross paths with a client or has a job that impacts that customer’s journey, even if it’s indirectly. This means even your backend office employees have the potential to elevate or ruin a client’s experience with your small business.
