It taught on how engage customers, deal with angry and unsatisfied clients and to listen more if I am going to solve problems

The course this made a refresh on my mind and seeing the statement "Plan your day before it plans you" has a lot of mean in that one sentence.

By Amy Demyan on 12/20/2020

The information was pertinent to my end goals. This is more customer call desk related but most concepts can be applied to any job or role.

Samara has been a great mentor. We would need more mentors like her in this industry.

By Robyn Cohen on 12/20/2020

I learned the Platinum Rule needs to apply to me. Do what is expected and not what you want others to do to you. For instance, if someone has attitude DO NOT give it back. I like the KSHPFH approach.
