People often ask me what's new in customer service.

They're looking for advanced techniques, cutting-edge research, and frankly, short-cuts. Everyone wants to find a faster, smarter, better way to serve their customers.

If you subscribe to this blog, you know I publish a lot of that research here.

Now, I'm excited to announce that I've just created a new training video on LinkedIn Learning called Innovative Customer Service Techniques.

This post will give you an overview of the course, a preview of the content, and I'll let you know how to watch the training video for free.

Overview

Companies often want their employees to think outside the box when it comes to great customer service. Managers and frontline employees, in turn, often want to learn new techniques to boost customer service ratings. 

The Innovative Customer Service Techniques course delivers new and cutting-edge research that can be used to take customer service to new levels.

Topics include:

• Influencing customer perceptions

• Enhancing service senses

• Building teamwork

• Jedi mind tricks for reducing customer wait time 

• Why customers should always know your name

• How detoxing our brains can improve customer service

Here's a short video from the course. It provides some tips for improving your powers of observation:
