Customer service jobs tend to be stressful; in a resource sharing environment the stress increases right along with the number of stakeholders.  You may find yourself on a diplomatic mission when all you set out to do was solve a straightforward problem.

In this 90-minute webinar we will discuss:

  • Thinking like a patron
  • Shifting the focus from winning to “leveling up”
  • Techniques to improve the effectiveness of email and phone transactions
  • Strategies for handling difficult interactions
  • Stress reduction
