Being well-trained in customer service means that you are better at building customer relationships using both emotional intelligence and a broad communication skill set.
People are more connected than ever, and that means they're constantly sharing their experiences, both positive and negative. When customer service is good, people remember. They tell their friends, they feel loyal to your brand, and they're more likely to use your services again.
