The Professional Role
A Customer Service Practitioner is the front face and, in many cases, the first point of contact a customer has with a company. Your purpose as a Customer Service Practitioner, will be interacting with customers, getting to know their issues and concerns and resolving those problems with high quality products and services.
Your interactions may be one-time events, resolving one-time unusual problems, or they could be more routine. Your knowledge, skills and behaviours will all contribute to delivering the best possible service you can to your customers and to meet and exceed your organisation’s standards and goals within appropriate regulatory frameworks.
The Learning Journey
