Enhanced Service through Consultative Sales Training
Train your customer service team to deliver unexpected value
Make the insights gained from customer service conversations a source of value for your business and your customers
Service professionals have unmatched insight into customers. Information learned on a service call reveals details about the customer’s concerns, needs, and interests. The customer’s tone, inflection, and word choice give the service professional a deep level of detail not seen elsewhere. Therefore, customer service professionals are an untapped resource for organisations seeking to use these details to deliver unexpected value.

Enhanced Service to Sales Customer Service Training Programme Overview
Richardson’s Enhanced Service through Consultative Sales programme helps service professionals:
- Execute customer service that rises to the level of a competitive advantage
- Shift their mindset to view sales as a way to add additional value to the customer
- Position additional services and products as part of the solution
Customer service professionals must become comfortable with proactively positioning solutions. However, selling is not a familiar routine to customer service professionals. Therefore, they must be trained to change their thinking around how they approach the service call. The customer service training programme shows why making this mindset change means engaging in active listening that focuses on the cues and clues revealing where additional solutions are appropriate.
To achieve these three objectives, participants will learn to:
- Develop self-awareness
- Personalise the customer service experience
- Spark the customer’s interest in an expanded solution, and more

DownloadEngaging with Customers
We teach service professionals best practises to effectively engage with the customer and set the tone of the conversation. We teach them how to ensure a strong opening helps them connect with the customer, defuse negative emotions (if needed), foster openness, build credibility, and set them up for success.
Solving Immediate Needs
We equip service professionals with a framework to efficiently and effectively resolve the immediate need while listening to cues and clues for additional ways to create value for the customer. We teach professionals how to solve for the root issue, and not just fix the symptoms, leaving the customer feeling like they have dealt with a real person.
Enhancing Experiences Through Additional Value
We teach service professionals how to proactively increase the quality of the customer experience, inspire loyalty, and expand business by acting on opportunities to help the customer access additional resources, products, or services that enhance customer value.
Resolving Objections
When faced with objections, most service professionals react defensively or use self-serving behaviours that undermine customer trust. We teach them how to develop a positive mindset toward objections, avoid defensiveness and self-serving behaviours that undermine trust, and equip them with a four-step, customer-focused model to resolve any objection.
