Is The Customer Always Right?

If you are in the service industry…and if you’re reading this, you most likely are…you will have heard the universal law of customer service, ‘The Customer is Always Right’. This phrase was made famous by Harry Gordon Selfridge , a successful retailer over 100 years ago, who learnt early in his career that the success of his department store depended on the happiness of his customers.

Confidence Building Workshops

Ava Lucanus from Edge Communication has been engaged by our firm to conduct communication workshops on numerous occasions. As a successful and local IT business, Leap Consulting has found her wealth of knowledge and training invaluable. Her professional manner and proven techniques have enabled our staff to not only manage all types of customers but provide confidence in dealing with them. Her highly skilled qualifications help to deliver information in an interesting, relevant and easy to understand manner. She has a very likeable and trustworthy nature and her interactional workshop ideas have been implemented within our organisation with great success”.

Three years later we are still actively implementing the skills Ava taught us

Edge Communication presented a customer service program for our team in a series of workshops, mystery calls and follow up sessions designed for our IT Help Desk. Ava delivered the program in a very professional, engaging manner and our team took all of the new strategies back into the workplace. Three years later we are still actively implementing the skills Ava taught us and are successfully inducting all our new staff using Ava’s Telephone Procedures manual. Our staff have learnt the confidence and skills to not only diffuse our clients’ frustration when experiencing IT issues, but to achieve a quicker resolution, saving time and increasing productivity. It has been a delight working with Ava and I can’t recommend her enough. She really did help turn around my ragband team of Service Desk at the time into a very well oiled and communicative team. I have no hesitation in recommending Edge Communication if you want to improve your customer experience.

A Goldmine for Staff

Ava is that rare professional; not only is she an expert in her field, but she is also able to convey the information in a dynamic, easy to understand manner. Ava’s material is logically organised, focused on results, and extremely cost & time-effective. A session with Ava is a GOLDMINE for staff who are your customer’s first contact with your business

Engaging and Captivating

Ava presented two professional development workshops, the aim being to create an awareness of the importance of aligning customer experience with our brand promise. Ava did a wonderful job of achieving this aim and enabling our professional staff to identify how they can ensure their service delivery aligns our client’s experience with our firms values and our promise of “great people, great results.” Her seminar was engaging and captivated the attendees to understand better the customer journey, the use of different types of “language” and the importance of a customer service system. We all thoroughly enjoyed and benefited from her knowledge and have taken on board many of her ideas to improve our client service approach. Ava is an extremely professional and experienced communications consultant. She uses humour, interactive techniques and factual information to ensure she gets her message across to a diverse group of people. I would not hesitate to recommend Ava.

A simple but powerful teaching tool

The recorded role play is a simple but powerful teaching tool which enabled our admin assistants to hear their own voice and recognise the need to use the right tone of voice and words to give the caller confidence. We felt at ease with Ava and are now much more confident and have the tools to deal with most situations. We are experiencing more positive responses from callers. I have no hesitation in recommending Ava and Edge Communication to any company.
