This is the best Customer Care program I’ve participated in. This program is so good and should be made available to all corporate and other institutions. Consideration can also be given to schools”

Good day, I want to say a BIG thank you to the CEO and senior management team for selecting me to do the customer service training. I really appreciate your choice and am looking forward to impart the knowledge that I have gained to maintain and develop the company’s core values and expectations. I want to also express gratitude to the team and coordinator who also made the learning environment comfortable and conducive to learn. I am now better equipped to deal with both internal and external customers.

This was an excellent seminar! To illustrate how much I have learnt, in 2012 I did research work at the Masters level; my group thesis was on Organizational transformation and the individual research work was on Customer Service Strategy ... read hundreds of articles, dozens of books, spent months in data collection ... it was a good course from a UK based Business school.
Yet, in one (1) day, I not only revisited some concepts encountered, but you know what??? I LEARNED SO MUCH ... and to think that some of the concepts that I thought were understood, they became so much clearer!!!
As far as application is concerned, that is perhaps the best part, separate from the intellectual illumination, which by the way, is highly valued. There are so many ideas that can be implemented. Overall I will summarize it this way: The method of presentation was very effective, and the simple (easy to follow) approach was very effective”

In the early 2000‘s we had determined that as part of a strategic differentiation from our competitors, we wanted to significantly improve the level of our customer service. It was important to us that our initiative not be a “fresh coat of paint” on the existing organizational walls and so we went to CSAJ to discuss our ideas and desires.
The result was a bespoke system and customized material that we introduced to all staff from top to bottom and enrolled leaders from the entire organization in learning, delivering the training, setting new standards, and then incorporating this into delivering service to our customers and business partners. The results took a few months to show, but gradually we started to get positive comments, then testimonials and letters of praise. An unexpected side-benefit of this, but not to be taken for granted is the improved environment that satisfied people (both customers and staff) create - they become more productive, and more innovative which ends up in a win/win situation for customers and company.
We do not think that we could have accomplished the level of improvement that we did without CSAJ’s assistance, knowledge and interaction with our management and staff, and whole-heartedly recommend their work.

"The Coaching and Mentoring workshop conducted by CSAJ was extremely beneficial to our Leadership team. The role plays really demonstrated that the team had grasped and understood the concepts and could apply same in simulation exercises, hence, confirming that transfer of learning had taken place. The participants had high praise for CSAJ's practical knowledge, application and presentation style. They gave positive feedback about the knowledge and skills learned and how experienced the trainer appear to be which was demonstrable in his presentation of the content.
We are really excited about the expected improved outcomes in the area of Coaching and mentoring and hence greater productivity of our team members as these skills are employed on the job. This was a tremendous investment in our Human Capital." (2011)

"We have tried numerous customer service programs in the subsidiaries of the retail and trading division of our company. They worked with varying degrees of success. However, when we approached Customer Service Academy of Jamaica Ltd, to provide us with a customer service program, they presented us with a new approach. This approach was systemic and it mandated involvement of senior management, middle managers, supervisors, and line staff. The results were remarkable! The Quality Advantage Program provides a methodology to improve standards that can measure the effectiveness of how well we deliver the services we provide. Moreover it becomes a philosophy by which all staff members are indoctrinated into a customer service focused orientation." (2004)

"The recently concluded Customer Service Training, Achieving Success Through Service, conducted by CSAJ at Guardian Life, was exceptional, enlightening, comprehensive, and promoted individual and group participation.
The involvement of the entire organization in the service culture training indicated a oneness of purpose, and the Train-the-Trainer course will provide the means to reinforce the programme on an ongoing basis. What gets measured gets done, so Customer Service is to become a priority item in appraising the performance of all employees.
The facilitator is a natural trainer who made participants relaxed, and this allowed for interactive sessions, which brought out the creativity among staff members. There were many varied activities to cement the learning and to ward off lethargy in the afternoon sessions. (2006)
