Customer satisfaction is key to customer loyalty and retention in the services industry. If service is below expectations, customers will look elsewhere. This applies not just to the actual service that a provider is delivering, but also to its customer relationship management, from sales to support.
To address this challenge, failures and inefficiencies in a service provider’s systems need to be identified and rectified on an ongoing basis, both to resolve issues and to prevent their recurrence.
This training course focuses on how root cause analysis can be applied to find and fix faults.
