Jeff Mowatt's customer service seminar is coming to Regina!

In partnership with the Regina Chapter of the Help Desk Institute, we are proud to announce that Jeff Mowatt will be conducting his Influence with Ease customer service seminars in Regina! Last year, Jeff held these sessions in Saskatoon and they were completely sold-out. Register now to join Jeff on April 15th at the Delta Regina at the early-bird rate. Here's an overview of the program and registration details... See you there!

Boost your Business in 2010
Smart business people know that you don't boost market share in boom times... your market share grows when the economy is soft and customers become more selective. Your options to stand out from the competition are limited... cut prices? Not very profitable. Improve product quality? Certainly, but that can take substantial time and money. The fastest, most cost-effective way to differentiate yourself is to focus on your service. Customer service can no longer be merely average or simply friendly; it needs to be remark-able. Here's your opportunity to make that happen for your team...

Jeff Mowatt's half day seminar, The Art of Customer Service...Influence with Ease

Some people claim that it's a complex process taking customer service to the next level. Jeff Mowatt disagrees. That's why he calls his seminar, Influence with ease. Jeff reveals easy-to-apply tips, tools and phrases that generate significant results including:

Strengthening customer loyalty
Increasing spending per customer
Recharge customer service teamwork

Participants learn how to:

Enhance people's perception of you by 12% by using a two word phrase more often (hint: it's not please or thank you)

Prevent customers from defecting just to save a few dollars
Reduce your customers' buying decisions, and increase purchases by 7 fold
Position your ideas, products, and services so that people select higher value options
Meet and exceed the 7 top customer expectations
Connect with clients at a deeper level by expressing your 'grand intention'
Use the most prevalent shift in buying behaviors to boost your business
Avoid 5 common expressions that unwittingly raise skepticism in others

Break bad news to others without creating hard feelings

Move beyond repeat business to create loyalty (there is a difference)

Prevent miscommunications that lead to stress and work overload

Boost communication skills both at work and in your personal life

Recharge your spirit and brighten your interactions with others

Whether you and your team members deal with external customers or internal coworkers you'll learn valuable skills that generate immediate results.

A unique learning opportunity with Jeff Mowatt

Treat yourself to this entertaining, informative session with award winning speaker, Jeff Mowatt B.Comm, Certified Professional Speaker. Jeff knows his stuff. He didn't just read the book - he wrote it! He's the best-selling author of the books, Becoming a Service Icon in 90 Minutes a Month, and Influence with Ease. He heads his own training company and has written and produced four self-study training systems. His Influence with Ease column has been syndicated and featured in over 200 business publications. Jeff has exercised influence himself as an
18-year customer service strategist, former national president of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers, and business owner.

5 reasons why you and your team should attend this program...

You'll learn something. If you've ever attended a conference where Jeff was the speaker, you know that he goes beyond theory and wishful thinking. Instead, he shares unique Influence with Ease tips that work in the real world. No matter what level you're at in your organization, you will learn concepts that earn and hold your customers' trust - even when things go wrong.
The half day format enables your whole team to attend. Jeff does the same program in the morning and the afternoon so that half of your team can attend either session. That means you get consistent training for everyone in a single day without having to shut down operations or forcing some people to miss-out.
It's economical. The registration fee for this program is a low as $145 for early-bird registrations. Plus, you'll receive another 10% off for groups of 10 or more. In terms of return on investment, consider the payoff of each team member gaining an keeping just one repeat customer as a result of this training. How much does it cost you when an employee inadvertently loses a single repeat customer? Take advantage of this opportunity to improve your own skills and show your employees that you believe in them and expect them to continuously improve their service.
You'll have fun! People pay more attention, learn faster, and retain more when they're enjoying themselves. Influence with Ease is an interesting topic presented by a master professional speaker that can enrich your communications with just about any other human. With Jeff you'll laugh and learn. That means boosting your business and morale.
It's an opportunity to grow your business. The short-sighted approach to dealing with economic slow-down is just cut-back on everything: cut prices, reduce staff, back-off on service. Savvy managers however, realize the unique opportunity this economy offers to stand out from the competition, gain market share, and develop your people. You have two choices in this economy... you can either take refuge or take action.
