This interactive innovative and experiential workshop will equip you and give you the insight to recognise and understand how the dynamics of communications change dramatically when the input of our eyes is excluded 
from the interaction. The world is a very fast place now – and people feel more and more ‘time poor’; they’re demanding that communications, in whatever guise are succinct and to the point. An obvious casualty of this phenomenon is ‘telephone engagement’. Most people regard telephone calls, particularly by landline, as intrusive and disruptive. The net effect of all of this, is that people are less inclined to entertain calls that seem aimless than ever before. The antidote lies in training – especially in delivering skills which help your staff to have a plan before they make the call – to execute that plan to the letter while on the call; to note the results, and to improve the result on the next call. People can learn to apply the concept of ‘less is more’ – Yes, even on the phone. Because getting swiftly to the point is what the customer now demands.
