Delivery: Face-to-face | Duration: 1 day


Excellent client/customer service is a key aim of employees and organisations, however at times employees are challenged by clients who are demanding and aggressive.

This course provides an overview of a range of reasons why clients may communicate and react in a challenging way. It also explores the differences in the way people behave, and the responses and preventative strategies that can be used to manage a situation.

This course is tailored to the needs of participants based on responses from a pre-course questionnaire, enabling real-life examples to be used to demonstrate effective responses to challenging client behaviours.
