by ClickView (Firm)
Call Number XX(302493.1)
Summary The light-hearted approach of this world-famous programme helps take the fear out of financial documents and complex concepts and, although accounts might never become a manager's favourite topic, it does at least make them understandable. Meet two contrasting people - a well-educated company director, and the streetwise owner of a small factory - to see how the whole process of business finance works. Because the success or failure of her manufacturing company is down to her, the factory owner knows the importance of understanding how money goes round the business and how to track and measure it - and she's happy to explain it in everyday language! Having been previously too embarrassed to admit his lack of knowledge, the company director learns from her the difference between key documents and the significance of the balance sheet, profit and loss accounts and cash-flow forecasts. This well-presented and structured programme assumes no prior knowledge of finance, and avoids financial jargon in favour of everyday language to convey the key points. Featuring Dawn French and John Cleese.

Customer Service Essentials : Advising the Customer [electronic resource]

2024-05-17T22:24:49Z

by ClickView (Firm)
Call Number XX(302693.1)
Summary It's often said that Customer Service isn't a department, it's an attitude. The behaviour of front-line staff defines the reputation of any organisation - big or small - which makes it all the more important to get it right. In this episode, customer service teams will become well equipped to give the customer what they want. Chapter 1: Knowing Your Stuff. Knowing your stuff gets the customer onside. You should have a detailed knowledge of what you've got - your product range and its features. You should also know your policies, as well as having a wider knowledge of the business and the market landscape. Chapter 2: Finding out What They Want. Customers don't always know what they want. Whatever service you provide, encourage your customers to open up. Listen to their needs, desires and concerns. Chapter 3: Getting into Their Head. The customer may need something more than what they're asking for. Try to get to the truth of the matter by asking questions. Chapter 4: Showing Them the Benefits. Features like 'it's got auto-tension' are factual statements but they won't entice customers to buy. A benefit (like 'it's incredibly comfortable') answers the question 'What's in it for me?' People buy benefits - so explain them to them.
