Improve how you or your company speaks to people on the phone to ensure good levels of service and in some situations safety. How an organisation handles phone calls can have a direct impact on its success - a badly handled call can mean limited information that might affect service delivery, customer satisfaction and even safety. On this course you will learn to evaluate how call handlers ask questions over the phone.
