Is the Customer Always Right Certificate

Is the Customer Always Right? Course

While customers are undoubtedly the most important asset of any business, the question remains if consumers are indeed always right. Coined by Harrod Gordon in 1909, ‘the customer is always right’ is an old and widely accepted adage in the world of business. However, as crucial as customer satisfaction is and as important as customers are to business success, there are times and situations where consumers are not always right. In fact, blindly following the assumption that consumers are always right can lead to adverse implications. The video course on ‘Is the Consumer Always Right?’ discusses and debates both sides of the coin and helps you decide on the best ways to resolve situations at work.

The course topics cover:

  • Why customers are invaluable to the growth and development of your business and how to treat your customers well
  • The benefits of treating your customers with attention and respect and how it helps
  • Learning to identify situations where the consumer may not always be right and how to differentiate between the legitimacy of the complaint and poor customer service
  • How to weigh the pros and cons of the situation and include important considerations
  • How blindly favouring the consumer can lower the morale of your employees
  • Useful strategies and tips that you can use when you find that a consumer is not right
  • How to determine if you can resolve the situation or if you should let the consumer go

Benefits of studying the course include:

  • You will be able to evaluate a situation by gathering details
  • You become aware of the importance of customers and why you should offer reliable customer service
  • You are better placed to back up employees when a consumer is abusive or abrasive
  • You learn how to differentiate between solid customers who are worth retaining and others that you can let go
  • You learn how to manage difficult consumers and regulate your body language in stressful situations

Excellent course. I enjoyed doing this course and I highly recommend it to everybody that start in the cleaning industry. Thank you very much.

David Sanchez

Amazing, informative course, really great value for money. Easy to use and navigate the website, and well worth it. Very clear and concise instructions.

I work in fraud at the moment and am just looking for something to add to my CV. Really great value for money. Simple, quick, easy and informative. Lots of modules that make up the course that are simple yet informative about fraud and money laundering and other aspects of fraud.

I’ve enjoyed the course so far and am looking forward to completing it and gaining a new qualification for my CV as well as new knowledge for my current workplace.

Jade Petrie

Fantastic course. It has really given me a strong foundation to pursue my journey into event planning.

The course is concise and gets straight to the point. It breaks everything down into simple points that are easy to remember.

I would recommend this course to anyone and everyone looking to pursue a career within the events industry.

Michaela Miller

I love being able to study from home, the site is easy to use and I like being able to just log in and study for as long as I have free then pick it up again the next day or a week later. I lost my job suddenly with no notice and decided to take the opportunity to get back into something new I intended to do long ago but just never had the time or money to do so. The great prices for online learning and being able to learn from home whilst doing part time work have helped out so much when on a budget and being unable to be able attend full time college courses.

Kirsten Owen

Great support and I can honestly say that this course helped me so much in order to understand what it takes in order to become a successful recruiter and allowed me to develop in this area.
Excellent, I thought the course was well put together and liked the fact that the modules were short and manageable.

Andreea Roxana Blaga

What can I say? I Couldn’t wait to get started and the log in details came through via email which allowed me to be able to. The course was highly addictive once I started, it was like reading a book, you never want to put down.

It was very easy to understand and very thorough but above all, very enjoyable and exhilarating. I was only sorry when it came to an end. I am now very much looking forward to applying my newly gained knowledge into the floristry world out there. I just hope they are ready for me. I can only say a big thank you for the opportunity.
