Trade Customers Expect Service Built for Trade
Trade customers judge a supplier by how problems are handled at the counter and on the phone, and a poor experience often ends an account without a word of complaint.
This half-day workshop is designed for trade environments, not adapted from generic service training. Delegates map the trade customer journey, learn a structured service recovery approach and leave with immediate improvements to apply.
