Each training guide was helpful in it's own way and I will benefit from each one."

Linda B., PSR

LearnCustomerServiceOnline.com (LCSO) "This course is fantastic and the ease of use and ability to work at your own pace make it even better. The courses are geared toward providing exceptional customer service no matter what profession or service may be provided.

The information is in-depth without being elementary. I learned so much and have found that both myself and the 16 staff members who work for me are utilizing what we've learned in our daily interactions. The topics covered give great insight to improving even the best customer service providers. I highly recommend this to anyone who provides even the slightest bit customer service in their day!!"
Tracey R. Helpdesk Supervisor

LearnCustomerServiceOnline.com (LCSO) "I found the course very reveling. There's things in here that make you think and that's a good thing. It's a brief and to the point course. It shows you may real life situation and how to handle things, both good and bad. I've dealt with people on all ends of customer service and the bottom line is that all anyone wants is whatever the product their paying for is what it's supposed to be and on time, and if not then we as people expect an answer and a solution as soon as possible, and not the run around. So yes I see a lot of good not only for myself, but for anyone who takes this course. Thank You"
Don H - Helpdesk Analyst

LearnCustomerServiceOnline.com (LCSO) "I found the information useful for both my professional and personal life. Active Listening is so important in all relationships and particularly with initial customer interactions. The checklists of steps to follow seem like an easy way to avoid many conflicts and help me creat a new way to respond. I also enjoyed taking the 'exercises & case studies' portion of the courses. Thank you for making the content relevant and easy applied to my daily life."

Autumn G. Customer Service Rep.

LearnCustomerServiceOnline.com (LCSO) "In my line of work, the tools that I have learned in the coarse has truly been a great tool to use. It has helped me to be more of a people person and to learn why people are the way they are and how to deal with them in a professional manner. I have been in the customer service field for more than 6 years, and I have not learned as much as I have in these 9 courses. And it only took me a week. It has taught me the proper way to make and receive telephone calls and emails. Plus other things as in stress management and problem solving. Thank you soooo much."
Diona W - Customer Service Representative

LearnCustomerServiceOnline.com (LCSO) "I have seen a return on the investment already. I had one rep relate how she used the strategies in defusing anger to calm a customer down and move forward in problem solving. She was ecstatic!

Bryant McN - Customer Service Director

(Web-based Customer Service Training & Instructor Led Training) "I appreciate the quick response. You guys are busy."

"I like the conflict management course too, because I think that people in general have not been taught how to handle conflict. Abusive speech and violence have escalated over the years, because many think that the should handle things the way they see people handle them in the movies or on TV.

I truly believe that if people would apply the skills that are in defusing anger and conflict management on a daily basis their lives would be much happier. What so you think? I must say that I am impressed with the training and I have been able to refine some of my skills. Thanks."

Bryant McN - Customer Service Director

I was amazed at how much I knew and was doing correctly, throughout all the courses I took, but also how much I did not know and how much new information I have learned, which has opened my mind to a better understanding of myself and others I come in contact with.

Thank you for a very fine approach to setting up your training modules, it was very user friendly, extremely informative, hands on, and mind opening."
Chris Y - Senior Field Service Technician Specialist

(Web-based Customer Service Training - Private site customer - trucking)First, this was a great course that was put together. I felt that this course would benefit entry-level customer service positions, along with any position that deals directly or indirectly with customers. Apart from the customer base applications, the interpersonal section of this course was very detailed and will assist everyone to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. Second to that, it also allows them to identify their peer's characteristics and how to acknowledge them and above all, work better with their peers.
Adam B - Business Development Manager

(Proactive Customer Service Level 1) It's been about two months since members of the PIBU Customer Support team and I attended your Proactive Customer Service Level 1 training. The course content came highly recommended by another manager, so we made arrangements to have five members from our office attend as well.

The difference since taking your course has been dramatic. While I do have two co-located and excellent groups to work with, the training kicked their performance up several notches. The number of customer calls forwarded to me for resolution has dropped to nothing. I've also seen a marked difference in the attitude they take when answering phones. They are more confident they'll be able to handle the situation good or bad. I can't thank you enough for teaching us how to use the tools we need to be successful with helping our customers and always being ready for "SHOWTIME".

(Principled Negotiations) Very enjoyable format. Made it easy to retain info for future use. Now when it's time to negotiate, I look to negotiate what makes up the price rather than the price itself.
- Bryant H. Account Executive, Cypress TX

sales tools.

(VSS) The class was very beneficial. It related extremely well to my everyday experiences allowing me to use it in my job. I enjoyed the laid back environment and the role playing. Kim, my instructor, was familiar with my industry and shared his ideas, experiences with me. Thanks for a great class.
- Jill H., Sales, Louisville, TX

(VSS) This was exactly what I needed to prepare me for the businesses of today. With all the changes in technology, business expectations and aggressive competitors, I knew I needed to learn how to become a professional salesperson all over again. Now, confident with the tools and strategies I have so easily learned, I am able to rise up to the challenges that await me, prepared like never before.
- Patricia L., The Woodlands, TX

(VSS) Great program. Could help any professional and excellent training for someone new in the selling world.

- Mike M., Contractor Marketing Manager, Hudson, OH

(Negotiating Value) Interaction between attendees and presenter was good as the use of real case history examples were used. Presenter had excellent rapport and promoted discussion. Course was too brief but hit highlights of principles and supporting references. Would recommend greater use of real life and tough situation handling. Greater pre work would bring good returns using real life mechanisms.
- Al R., Director of Sales, Carlsbad, CA

(Negotiating Value) Very pleased so far and looking forward to more good stuff in September!
- Malcolm K., Director of Sales, West Paterson, NJ

-
Lisa A., Client Relations Manager, New York, NY

(ACE) David is an excellent and polite instructor. The only drawback is that I believe the course would be better if done in 3 days. It is hard to retain so much info when crammed into two days.
