Course Overview

This course is designed to help learners understand the role of customer-centred organisations. The three units are understanding customers, meeting customer need and adding value. Learners will evaluate best practice and the policies and approaches that result in excellent service and delivery within a contemporary business environment. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is now being actively embraced by organisations within most industry sectors. Furthermore, customer expectations are changing with the result that customer relationships are becoming increasingly more complex to manage.

This course analyses how businesses have responded by looking after their customer base in new and more cost effective ways. The aim of the course is to provide learners with understanding and insight into customer behaviour. It will develop skills and learners will use tools and practices an organisation can use to retain and improve customer retention and relationships.
