After attending this 2-day class, I have learned valuable information on how to expand my customer service skills. From the helpful tips on personality traits to the dos and don'ts when I am approached by a customer, plus many other tools that were provided in class, all will help me to administer excellent customer service effectively. Instructor Sanders is an OUTSTANDING teacher. His class was well prepared, well-balanced, and very informative. The examples Mr. Sanders uses are applicable to everyday experiences and are key to learning how to handle situations that we face on the job.
