Internal Customer Service

Every organisation, regardless of product or service, depends solely on a loyal customer base, not only to sustain it but to make it flourish. Service excellence does not start with the interaction between your customer service team and an external customer. A culture of service excellence starts internally within an organisation. It starts with the mindset that every employee of your organisation is your “customer” and is therefore entitled to service excellence from you.

 This course recognises that a well-developed culture of internal service excellence will permeate an organisation, improve morale and become the norm in all external customer interactions. It promotes a service mindset and an understanding of what service standards qualify as “service excellence” whilst unpacking why it is imperative that every staff member provides world-class internal service to their colleagues, and should expect the same in return.
