Question: Who is involved in customer service at your organisation?
Answer: Probably everyone!
E-learning has the potential to transform customer service training by allowing learners to practice their skills in safe, non-confrontational settings before they have to use these skills in the real world.
But where do you begin?
Ingredients
- A mission statement. What are the training goals being pursued? Outcomes such as product knowledge and stress management are also part of customer service.
- A flexible and scalable LMS
- Powerful reporting tools, to track user progress
- Cloud hosting for access anytime, anywhere
- Social learning tools
Preparation
- Share your video on company vision and values.
- Integrate your customer service training with existing internal systems. Build the ethos that everyone in your organisation is involved in customer service.
- Opt for user-centred design to promote engagement. How does this raining connect to real-life situations?
- What are your targets? Set measurable objectives to gauge improvements, e.g. cross-selling targets or a particular metric.
Method
- Show your team what the gold standard of customer service looks like. Your content should enable learners view interactions with a critical eye.
- Build engagement early through collaboration. Everyone will have a story to share and this will add authenticity and personality to the learning.
- Communication is key. Build in regular reminders and bite-sized learning to ensure everyone is on track with their learning.
