1 Assess your current situation

Before you design your training program, you need to understand your current customer service situation. This includes identifying your customer service standards, expectations, and metrics, as well as your team's strengths, weaknesses, and gaps. You can use various methods to assess your situation, such as surveys, feedback, audits, or mystery shopping. The results of your assessment will help you define your training objectives and priorities.

I think what makes customer service training challenging and exciting is because each group within an organization has different needs. My team at this time is small with big impact: we need to communicate often. Is that customer service? For us it is, and not only that, those in leadership above us need to keep us in their loop because we are their customer and we do some of the work that makes their job more effective. Sometimes, it takes great effort to resolve issues with our internal customers, and us assisting them makes it an easier task for them to assist the external customers they serve. We must serve each other...D. Liely

2 Define your training goals

Based on your assessment, you need to define your training goals for your team. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). For example, you might want to increase your customer satisfaction rate by 10% in six months, or reduce your average handling time by 5 minutes in three months. Your training goals should align with your business goals and customer service standards, as well as your team's needs and interests.

3 Choose your training methods

Once you have your training goals, you need to choose the best methods to deliver your training content. There are many options to choose from, such as online courses, webinars, workshops, coaching, mentoring, or gamification. You should consider your team's learning preferences, availability, and budget when selecting your training methods. You should also aim for a mix of methods that can cover different learning styles, such as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic.

The most inclusive training programs will present content in a variety of ways AND provide both written and verbal versions of the content where possible. To overcome language barriers and support memorization, it is also helpful to pair text with relevant images. An effective sequence to follow for teaching new content is known as "gradual release of responsibility" or "I do, WE do, YOU do" which includes: 1. Presenting content or demonstrating task 2. Guided practice 3. Assessing understanding or ability to complete the task without help By creating an inclusive training program, you extend its accessibility to more diverse learner types, you inspire more content engagement, and you improve the long-term retention of knowledge.

4 Develop your training content

The next step is to develop your training content based on your training goals and methods. Your content should be relevant, engaging, and practical for your team. You should include topics that address your team's knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to customer service, such as communication, empathy, problem-solving, or conflict resolution. You should also use examples, scenarios, or case studies that reflect your team's real-life situations and challenges.

5 Implement your training program

Now that you have your content ready, you need to implement your training program for your team. You should plan your training schedule, logistics, and resources in advance, and communicate them clearly to your team. You should also create a supportive and collaborative learning environment for your team, where they can ask questions, share feedback, and practice their skills. You should monitor and track your team's progress and attendance throughout the training program.

6 Evaluate your training results

The final step is to evaluate the results of your training program and measure its impact on your team's performance and customer service outcomes. You should use both quantitative and qualitative methods to collect data, such as tests, surveys, interviews, or observations. You should compare your data with your baseline data from your assessment and your training goals. You should also solicit feedback from your team and your customers on the quality and effectiveness of your training program.

Work cross-functionally to determine if the data you are seeing is a result of the training and/or a combination of other efforts combined. For example, in sales, if a training coincides with a product promotion or price change, consider using a control area where the marketing changes are not implemented to see what portion of the results can be attributed to the training only. Recommend the marketing team also use a control area where the training is not implemented to test the standalone marketing results as well. Then, review the three data sets to evaluate a scalable course of action. Internal team feedback and external customer feedback (if applicable) from all three cohorts should also be considered.
