LETA TELEPHONE TRAINING COURSES

THE IMPORTANCE OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

It requires experience to effectively communicate information and provide excellent customer service. Despite the e-communication revolution with emails, PDF files and XML for inter-computer compatibility the telephone still plays a vital role in the workplace. The telephone is a valuable communication tool, which is truly interactive and works in real time.

But how many people use the phone effectively and efficiently? You receive a call and might wonder what the caller is trying to tell you. Equally you make a call and the person at the other end inspires you with confidence and good communication follows. This is important for both the private and public sectors.

Employers and employees need to be aware of their impact on the telephone, which ultimately affects their own business. Commercial suppliers need happy customers who return and spend more money. Similarly in the public sector school secretaries and doctors' receptionists, for example, need to portray a caring but efficient persona with full regard for confidentiality.

An effective way to teach language communication skills is to use the telephone as a training resource. LETA, part of the Hillbrow Group, has a range of simple to use but very effective telephone training solutions that have stood the test of time.

Investment in your employees' skills is essential, especially when they provide a service to customers and clients over the telephone. We deliver a range of interactive on-site training courses to improve communication skills.

All sessions involve theoretical presentations, demonstrations, group discussion, role-plays and practical exercises using LETA Telephone Training Equipment so that participants can hear their progress throughout the course. Learning methods are drawn from Neurolinguistic Programming and Accelerated Learning to create a stimulating and memorable event.

The courses are suitable for all customer-facing employees in the public, private and voluntary sector such as secretaries, receptionists, help line staff and call centre operatives.
