Summary: Simple, straightforward and fun
Review: As a corporate trainer, I was asked to prepare a customer service training and didn't know quite where to begin. This book offers many good tips for creating a program and has several fun activities that reinforce the keys of good customer service. A bit basic at times, but overall: GREAT! Oh, and the price is right, too!

Summary: Excellent Reference
Review: Looking for ways to spice up a Customer Service Training Workshop and still get the message across? This book can help. I was able to have my CSR's rolling in the aisles with some of these Training Games. Yet in debriefing, the message was passed across. Whether you are seeking to train the CSR's voice or Telephone Manners you'll find a Training Game to do it.

Summary: A perfect help to train customer focus
Review: This book contains many easy-to-deliver games that really help a trainer to keep customer service (and sales) reps focussed on those things that really matter in the various phases of customer contact. Me as a fact-oriented consultant have no problem using the exercises and they help me to initiate discussion without having to "feed" the theory to the participants first. My personal favourite is the Tennis Shoe Alien game which is real fun and gives a different view of things we consider so "easy" and "basic" that we do not pay much attention to them anymore.
