A telephone consultant is not just a consultant, they are the face of your company. If they come across as rude, well then need I say more. The word will get out and the members of society will not say “the consultant”, they will say “ GHJHD were rude to me….”
Is this the face you would like for your company or would you rather want them saying.
“GHJHD gave me great service ill recommend them to everyone”
When the right process is followed its easy like a Sunday morning
