This course will help customer service teams identify a few common issues that frequently arise in interacting with customers. This material will also explain what policies and procedures companies need to have in order to effectively respond to consumer concerns, how to avoid breaches of privacy and consumer protection laws, and provide tips to help keep your company out of costly litigation.
