Who Cares? - DVD

Government Version also Available Free Online Preview

“Customer service just isn’t what it used to be.” That statement can’t be supported with statistics but not many people would argue it. The GOOD news is that organizations offering EXCELLENT customer service now have a greater competitive advantage than ever before!

Who Cares?, the new training program that can play a critical role in giving your organization just such an advantage! We’ve identified and illustrated the four simple but critical cornerstones of excellent customer service:

  • Greet the customer
  • Respect the customer
  • Listen to the customer
  • Really help the customer!

In reality, most customer service representatives really do care. But they often neglect, or fail to remember those basic behaviors that send that caring message to your clients. It’s also too easy for them to forget the important role they play in your organization’s success. Who Cares? provides both the information and inspiration your staff needs to provide winning customer service.

Program Synopsis: An engaging host provides narration between a wide variety of realistic and thought-provoking customer service scenes. The viewer is reminded to put themselves in the customer’s shoes as “wrong way” and “right way” service examples are provided. Retail, hospitality, food service, banking and government settings along with man-on-the-street commentaries provide an informative and fast-paced training experience.

Program Includes: A 21 minute DVD or VHS video, comprehensive leader’s guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM and Who Cares?, handbook and leader’s guide.

An Invisible Man Meets The Mummy - DVD

Government & Healthcare Version also Available!

This entertaining program presents a lighthearted look at the rights and wrongs of customer service. It shows that everyone has customers -- internal, external or both -- and there's no place to hide from them. Not even in red tape.

Yet without realizing it, many capable people let red tape cloud their vision of what customer service is about. To illustrate this point, we've cast the employee as an inflexible mummy wrapped in red tape. The customer is invisible because the mummy just can't see him. But only temporarily -- because the eight skills for good customer service are soon revealed. Viewers learn how to put the customer first, and are made aware that it's possible to tailor procedures to customer needs without breaking rules.

With all the wit and wisdom of CRM's legendary film Remember Me, this film is sure to elevate the quality of your customer service from the inside out. An important training tool for new hires and a valuable reminder for seasoned employees.

Participants will learn about:

 

  • Flexibility -- policies and procedures are no good if they alienate your customer and their needs
  • Planning -- creating and implementing a solid plan of action increases efficacy
  • Attitude -- it's not merely what is said, but how, that imparts critical messages to customers
  • Measurement -- tracking progress provides effective tools for change

Program includes: A 19 minute VHS or DVD, Leader's Guide, sample Participant Workbook

The 5 Values of GREAT Customer Service - DVD

This program is also available for online training -- See details below.

Request free online preview! 

Customer service interactions can be complex under the best of conditions. Add issues of language, race, gender, religion, age or disability into the mix, and we often find otherwise competent employees acting in ways ranging from mildly inappropriate to inexcusably rude.

The customer demographics for most organizations are changing in such a way as to increase the diversity of the populations we serve. This makes it imperative that we improve our customer service training so as to prepare employees to meet the challenges this diversity can present. Simple platitudes about the customer being "number one" or providing "first class service" are not enough. We must work on the values and skills employees need to meet or exceed the expectations of ALL their customers.

The 5 Values of GREAT Customer Service presents a values-based training approach to meeting this challenge. The program component, when taken together with the exercises and activities in the facilitation guide, offers a comprehensive approach to developing customer service relationships built on a foundation of respect.

By viewing the program and working through the support materials, participants will...

 

  • Better understand how to provide ALL customers with GREAT service
  • Be aware that how customers perceive the service we offer and how we perceive the needs of our customers may depend on their (and our own) personal and cultural perspectives
  • Develop a values-based approach to customer service
  • Become familiar with the G R E A T acronym and know how to apply it to our relations with our customers

Program Includes: A 24 minute DVD or VHS, Facilitator's Guide and reproducable handouts.

Online Training Option:

This program is also available over the web or over your company’s network. This option makes it is easy for you to deliver video to any employee’s desktop at any location with web access. The online program includes:

Other Side of The Window - DVD

Providing Exceptional Service in Government

This important program illustrates how bureaucratic systems and procedures, however necessary to workflow, can get in the way of providing the level of service - and respect - the public requires. It's a valuable journey into attitudes and assumptions, a realistic look at the day-to-day public sector workplace that is full of customers anxious about the help they need and well-meaning CSRs hampered by inflexible rules.

In addition to the vignettes that take place in office settings with actual service "windows," the scenario of our forlorn friend stuck on the side of the road with his stalled auto also demonstrates the need for good government customer service. When a County Works truck comes along, our "customer" thinks he's saved. But this government worker only lets our friend know he's blocking the road and should move immediately, without offering assistance.

There's nothing quite so powerful as viewing circumstances from the other person's perspective. This is the true value of The Other Side of the Window: Providing Exceptional Service in Government.

Program Contents: A 13 minute VHS or DVD including Meeting Opener, Closer and Discussion segments, Leader's Guide, 10 Reminder Cards

El Poder de la Atencion al Cliente - DVD

This DVD comes with an audio CD and a book and provides the basics needed in any organization to help improve customer service. It is not a lot of theory. In fact, it is just the opposite; a DVD training program that's loaded with do-it-now skills that can be put to work immediately. The book contains exercises that may be completed while watching the DVD. The audio CD provides yet another way to reinforce the material.

Customer service comes from the inside of an individual. It comes from the desire to provide good service to everyone - whether they are a customer, co-worker, friend or relation.

Using the "three C's" of good customer service - Concern, Communication, and Competence, leading customer service expert Dr. Paul Timm brings to life the skills needed to enrich any customer service relationship.

"To survive in the competitive market place of the new millennium we must treat customers like they are members of our family. A positive customer relationship is the key at any level of any organization.," says Dr. Timm.

This program comes complete with DVD, audio CD and book. 45 minutes.

Max and Max - DVD

This is part of The Covey Leadership Library

Meet Max, a recent college graduate, full of talent and ideas. And meet Max, a purebred Golden Retriever, eager to do his master's bidding. What do these two have in common? Mr. Harold -- a shortsighted manager who uses the same control style of leadership with both man and dog. An approach that inevitably leads to cynicism and frustration. An approach that disempowers.

This workshop is about empowerment. It's designed to increase leaders' awareness of the waste of human potential within organizations, and to help create a culture that fosters independent initiative, creativity, and resourcefulness.

Included is an introduction and summarizing insights by Dr. Stephen R. Covey, founder and chairman of the Covey Leadership Center and best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Trainers will be able to apply this film in training for empowerment, team building, leadership skills, stress management and customer service.

Program Contents: A 20 minute VHS or DVD, 5 Participant Guides

Time: The Next Dimension of Quality - DVD

This course is also available for online training, see details below.

How would you respond if told that only 25% of the time spent in any given process adds value to your product or service? Rath & Strong's John Guaspari and Edward Hay present a simple, but effective concept - don't spend time on anything that has no value in the eyes of the customer.

That's exactly what you'll learn with this breakthrough video on increased productivity and customer service: how to look at a process to identify which steps add value and which do not. Once the non-value-added time is removed or reduced, your managers and employees will deliver products and services to the customer faster, achieve higher levels of quality and put your organization so far ahead of your competitors they may never catch up.

Time: The Next Dimension of Quality is for everyone in all organizations large and small who want to serve the customer better, be more competitive, and make breakthrough improvements in "Quality" performance.
