Overview

Front Desk Officers, Call Center Agents, Concierge and Protocol Officers, Secretaries and Personal Assistants, and Other Office Support Staff are very critical in building strong brand image or reputation for organizations – especially so for Service Institutions. In fact, they most often represent the “first line of defense” in an organization’s critical impression points or moments of truth.

Today’s Front Desk Officers, Call Center Agents, Concierge and Protocol Officers, Secretaries and Personal Assistants, etc are also required to take on more challenging roles and manage multiple duties such as: make sales and relationship management calls to customers, manage and respond to customers’ emails, provide feedback on customer enquiries, make presentations and prepare other communication materials, render reports and findings on customer-related issues, organize events, prepare documents and manage files, conduct marketing research and sales campaigns, manage projects, supervise projects, among several other functions.

Now more than ever before, there is a strong need for these set of staff to acquire and/or develop the appropriate service and organizational skills as well as the proper etiquette training required to enhance their effectiveness and performance in the overall pursuit of the firm’s business objectives. In fact, their interactions with customers and other stakeholders must be reassuring, encouraging and nothing less than excellent in order to enhance customer acquisition, retention, and sound relationship management.
