Understanding Our Customers: Transactional Analysis-Strategic Customer Care
Add to Calendar 09/01/2015 3:00 pm 09/01/2015 4:30 pm Understanding Our Customers: Transactional Analysis-Strategic Customer Care Who said that? Understanding our customers is central to helping them with their problems. Part of a deeper understanding is to understand the language and tonality they’re using and where it’s coming from. Often when someone speaks, they are ‘talking from the inside’. They sound like someone or something has triggered a recording of someone else speaking. To be a business person on the frontline we need a slight edge to better connect with people. The study of transactional analysis and how it adapts to the business world gives us that slight edge.
