Consulting News
See a valuable testimonial from a training and consulting initiative in Kuala Lumpur. I took part in an initiative for a restaurant company to assess and then improve their customer service. Already recognized as a customer service minded restaurant group, with a variety of rewards, we wanted to take the service to the next level.
I was assigned the task of visiting the four restaurants, as a “mystery diner” and then write observations of each. A second visit took place and this time gave written recommendations for areas to improve or strengthen their customer service.
Following this stage I visited each restaurant a third time and delivered a two hour interactive seminar at each that involved discussing various customer service initiatives, based on findings, that the staff can implement and suggesting how they can move forward. The last stage was to discuss with management a plan to sustain the learning and suggest an action plan going forward.
