Overview

Customer Service Verbal Communication Techniques

For effective verbal or spoken communication, there are various factors that can't be completely separated from other essential interpersonal skills, such as non-verbal communication, listening abilities and clarification.

Remaining calm, ensuring clarity of speech, being polite, focused and attentive, and following some essential rules of manners and etiquette will all assist the verbal communication process.

Your communication skills will determine your chances of securing a deal - from your opening pitch to your concluding statements. Building up your vocal, questioning and conversational skills will enable you to develop a strong initial introduction by attaining trust and establishing credibility.

Effective communication and commanding problem-solving skills are the most essential requirements for customer service staff. Call centre representatives must be able to listen well and communicate effectively verbally. Communication becomes the most important factor for those managing clients’ inquiries and complaints.

This insightful unit focuses on verbal communication techniques and describes the four Es of an effective telephone voice and a service image.

You will discover the various characteristics of verbal communication and learn how to analyse the role of body language over the phone.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
