Training Basic RulesTraining Basic Rules
Do not feel embarrassed to ask questions. Take part in discussions, presenting your ideas with confidence, integrity and an open mind, without hesitation. In case of vagueness, ask for a clarification, or elaboration. Only one person should be allowed to speak at a time. Side-talks are not allowed. Do not let differences of opinions and viewpoints hold you back. Please be punctual and adhere to schedule. Please turn off your mobiles to avoid distraction. Do not block your mind, saying that you are already familiar with a certain idea: there must be something new to learn. Enjoy your time and try to gain benefit as much as you can.

Who is the Customer?Who is the Customer?
The customer is the ultimate “VIP” in this place – whether he comes personally, calls over the phone, or sends an e-mail/letter
The customer does not depend on us: rather, we depend on customers
A Customer is not an interruption of our work - …..he/she is the purpose of it. We are not doing a favour by serving them - ….. they are doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.
The customer is not the person you argue with or try to outsmart. The customer is not a name in a file or archive. The customer is a
human being with his/her own dispositions, beliefs, emotions and feelings
The customer is not an outsider, a stranger to the organisation; on the contrary, he/she is an integral part of the organisation
The customer is the person who informs us of his/her needs, and it is our job to fulfil these needs in a way that would benefit both customer and organisation
Customer is boss: he/she is always right, and he/she is the reason why we are still in the market.
Page 11
Customer PhilosophyCustomer Philosophy
As long as the customer needs us, as long as we remain employed.
As long as the customer has a will to determine his/her choices, we should strive to be his/her best choice.
As long as the customer is sensitive, we should be appreciative of him/her.
As long as the customer is in a hurry, we should be fast enough to respond in time.
As long as the customer is unique, we should be flexible. As long as the customer has great expectations, we should
always seek excellence. As long as the customer is influential, we should hope to
gain more customers. As long as the customer is here, so are we.
