Instructor: Terry Watson

Course Description: You no longer have just clients. You now have bloggers, online reviewers, and potential social media vigilantes. One bad experience or a perceived unhappy outcome can encourage an online review that will repel potential business like a two-day-old baby diaper. A customer with a smartphone or an internet connection has the ability to actually affect your bottom line. Ironically, though, most agents aren’t handling a problem at the right stage: before a problem happens. In this presentation, Terry will show you how the simple things have an enormous impact on customer satisfaction – as well as how to set reasonable expectations for your client so they never feel surprised when something doesn’t go according to plan.
