Good customer service is the life-blood of your organization. How staff handles internal and external stakeholders directly impacts your nonprofit’s ability to reach goals and achieve organizational success. The key is balancing customer needs with company and departmental expectations while building trusting relationships.

In this four-hour interactive seminar, you’ll build the necessary skills to enhance constituent relationships and communicate for impact, even in the most challenging circumstances. Specifically, you will:

• Learn the benefits of excellent customer service
• Understand how the service you provide reflects on your organization’s mission
• Identify who your customers are — internally and externally
• Develop techniques for responding to specific customer behaviors
• Learn how to diffuse angry and abusive customers
• Learn to turn problems into opportunities for customer satisfaction

The tools and techniques you take away from this course will help frontline leaders, including fundraisers, volunteer coordinators, receptionists and more, provide exceptional service to current and potential donors, participants, volunteers and board members.
