Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

The second customer got a leaflet instead of a walk-through. What went wrong?

A quick assumption led to a lower standard of service. The better move is to offer the same full explanation and check what the customer wants.

Lesson 1, Why it matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Which of these is a service issue?

A customer who asks for a price in writing is making a service request. Accents, dress and family structure are not service issues.

Lesson 2, The rules in brief, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

You are about to treat a customer differently. Which question comes first?

Start with the facts. It separates what you saw from what you assumed.

Lesson 3, Decision framework, teaches this. See the outline

Grey areas: a scenario from the course

What would you do?Phone call: Oluwaseun Adeyemi asks about a refund; a colleague whispers "just say no, they always try it on". Best = handle it under the refund policy like any other request and ignore the comment, then raise it with your lead later; weaker = handle it fairly but say nothing about the comment; wrong = refuse without checking the policy
