    You never get a second chance to make a first impression and in a customer facing role you are often representing the face of the company.  If the first impression the customer gets is a poor one because of your appearance or behaviour you may lose that customer and it's your responsibility to make sure that customers have a good impression and want to come back.

    pic of communication


    This week we are taking a closer look at communication skills, and what it means to communicate appropriately with customers.

    The way we communicate is the key to providing a good service and to creating successful customer relationships.

    When we communicate successfully with customers the experience becomes enjoyable - for them and for us - so it's a skill well worth having that will sustain you throughout your career.

    • Identify 3 appropriate and 3 inappropriate ways of communicating verbally with customers and say why they are.

      Give examples of types of non-verbal communication.
