"Sound Bites of the Customer: Did I Hear You Correctly"

Presented by

Ms. Debra Wilson

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Washington DC Metro Headquarters

Program Summary:

Understanding and hearing what the customer wants is sometimes a challenge. While this may sound or appear to be an easy task, this is not always the case. Our focus is to really hear and understand what the customer requires, provide feedback, identify techniques to gather the correct information, determine how information is processed and manage the risk associated with not delivering what the clients wants.
