How to see your business through the eyes of a customer.
Only when the employees of any organsitation learn how to view their business as their customers can you start to deliver great service. As we all know the first step on the road to self improvemnet is self awareness. The same is true for companies, the problem is you cannot tell your staff what to think. The workshop shows you how to get staff to think like customers. You then learn the techniques so they act in the way your customers want. The great news is that this also reduces costs.
