The first impressions are lasting. Your establishment will be judged based on how your customer was received. It is said that 68% customers leave and choose your competitors because of bad attitude they received from your staff. Frontline staff play a major role in creating experiences to your customers.

 

Whether you are running a small or big firm, a hospital or any other medical practices, or any company, training your frontline staff on customer service excellence is vital. Your customers are your biggest assets and it not well taken care of, they will leave your company and spend their money elsewhere.
