Why this training is important
Many people believed that the advent of the Internet and online business would reduce or even eliminate the need for telephone enquiries but, if anything, the opposite has been the case. Simple transactions can often be completed on line, of course, but it is those transactions that are not so simple, or that have gone wrong, that generate the need for a telephone conversation with a “real” person. And quite often that telephone call will be from a customer who is not in the best frame of mind, having spent many abortive minutes online without getting the result he or she wanted.
