Short description Learn to greet, listen, help and say no well, handle calls, emails and complaints calmly, deal with upset customers safely and get a customer service job. 50 written lessons plus 10 practice downloads.
Outcomes
  • Explain what good customer service involves, who your customers are, and how to meet expectations with promises you can keep
  • Listen actively, ask open, closed and probing questions, and use plain, positive language and calm body language
  • Greet and help customers face to face, manage queues and a front desk, and say no politely while offering alternatives
  • Handle phone calls with confidence, from the opening and security checks to hold, transfers, messages and call backs
  • Write clear emails, live chat messages, review replies, call records and handovers, and use templates well
  • Handle complaints with six clear steps, apologise sincerely, explain basic consumer rights and escalate when needed
  • Calm upset customers, set a boundary when behaviour becomes abusive, and stay safe and supported afterwards
  • Adapt your service for customers who need extra care, protect personal information and spot signs of scams
  • Build product knowledge, work well in a team, take feedback well and look after your own wellbeing on shift
  • Present your skills on a CV and in interviews, and complete a customer service toolkit you can keep and update
Requirements
  • No experience needed: the course suits job seekers and people already working in retail, hospitality, call centres and front-desk roles
  • Rootlet teaches the skills; this course doesn’t lead to a qualification or certificate from an awarding body
  • Always follow your own employer’s policies and procedures; the course explains the general approach
  • A way to print or fill in PDF worksheets is useful but not essential; a notebook works too
