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

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?

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.

Encourage your customer service agents to take up the challenge and stretch their comfort zone when dealing with customers who may have a different culture or even first language.

Taylor works in a busy international freight company. One of her customers is a woman named Ruzita who is trying to send an urgent parcel to her mother in Malaysia. Ruzita is new to this country and English is her second language. Taylor is also frantically trying to organize travel arrangements for her own mother to fly for the birth of her first grandchild.

Our story follows Taylor's experience as she grapples with the challenge of being both a service provider and a customer, when dealing with cultural differences and language barriers. Taylor complains bitterly about the treatment she receives at the hands of the foreign visa department.

See firsthand just how much fun, when combined with commitment, relates to organizational success and personal satisfaction.

Sure, a day at the ballpark might sound like a good time. But when it's your job, it can mean a fifteen-hour day of hard work, whether you're cleaning the bleachers, keeping the books or taking care of customers. How do they do it?

For the people who work here, fun is an attitude. An experience. It's why everyone from head groundskeeper to the president and co-owner is passionate about coming to work. Having fun on the job makes these employees more creative, more productive, and ultimately more satisfied. They don't take themselves too seriously. They treat each other with respect. And they make every day an event.

25 Sales Strategies and Activities

25 Sales Strategies and Activities is a unique training and development tool designed to teach sales professionals how and when to use a variety of proven sales strategies.

Each strategy comes with an activity that clears up any question about how the strategy should be implemented. Each activity includes fully reproducible exhibits which can be used as exercises and handouts in training sessions.

Rather than a one-time training tool, 25 Sales Strategies and Activities is a useful and practical guide your employees will refer to over and over again. It’s packed with a wealth of insight, tips and guidance for motivating sales people to:

  • Know the customer
  • Create buying habits
  • Adapt to change
  • Empower customers
  • Create the need

If Looks Could Kill - DVD

This DVD course is also available for online training – learn more

How people behave when dealing with customers or colleagues can determine the success or failure of each interaction. In this spoof detective case, careless failure has created a victim. At the doctor's, at the shoe shop, in the post office and at the station, a customer was driven to distraction by careless behaviour. A detective must piece together a customer's movements to see how several suspects' behaviour led to his demise.

Three key pieces of evidence result from his enquiries: 

  • Behaviour breeds behaviour
  • Behaviour is a choice
  • Behaviour can be used to help a transaction.

This light-hearted program raises some simple but key issues, and expresses them in a professional, down-to-earth manner. Any staff seeing this video will learn how to deal with customers by being professional and choosing their behaviour. Personal problems and prejudices should be hidden, and customers should be welcomed and put at their ease.

The benefits

  • Engaging, amusing and realistic scenarios
  • Structured analysis of front-line behaviour
  • Suitable across a range of industries for all levels of staff
  • Written by behavioural expert Dr Peter Honey

Programme includes: DVD(28 mins), Course leader's guide, Delegate worksheets on disk, Powerpoint slides/OHPs on disk and Self-study workbook on disk.
