Communication Skills
 Good
communication is essential in creating rapport with customers and
establishing trust and confidence. Constant monitoring must be conducted
to improve communications with customers. Participants will learn
to identify the elements of the communication process, including an
awareness of their own skill level, and the importance of customer
courtesy skills in setting the tone for their customer interactions.
The module reviews guidelines for quality service and focuses on the
three types of communication:
- Face-to-Face
- Telephone
- Non-Verbal
AUDIENCE
This module is designed for all employed who need to be more effective
at written, verbal and telephone communications.

participants' skill level and teaching objectives. The module includes:
- Break out groups to solve team
problems

development

COURSE MATERIALS
The participant's workbooks contain reference text
and exercises, are bound and three hole punched. The module is divided
