Description

Issues with customers can send even the most seasoned service professionals into red alert. Discover how to effectively communicate your way out of any difficult spot.

By providing clear techniques, behavioral science insights, case studies, situation-specific advice, and actionable practice exercises, workplace communication expert Richard Gallagher has created a resource that can help anyone master the delicate art of communication.

In The?Customer Service Survival Kit, you'll find tangible tips and tricks to help you discover:

  • how to lean into criticism,
  • how to avoid trigger phrases that can make bad situations worse,
  • the secret to helping people feel heard,
  • how to safely deliver bad news,
  • and how to become immune to intimidation--among many other skills.
