Courses

The courses that Ann personally delivers are aimed at all levels within the organisation, to enhance their communication skills and to support each person in his or her quest for service excellence.

​

Courses are delivered both in-house and virtually. They are specifically designed for the needs of the organisation. Initial introductory and planning meetings are valuable in setting the training agenda, course objectives, and agreeing outcomes.

The training programs  are based on the main principle of ‘valuing the customer’ - a theme that is applicable to both internal and external dealings. The training is particularly relevant for help desks, customer support, direct channels, and sales.
