Customer Service Skills for Your StaffIf you own a business or provide customer service at one of our Smith Mountain Lake businesses, you will want to be aware of some upcoming training opportunities.

In actuality, every business offers some kind of customer service, from simple sales to departments devoted solely to that purpose. As someone who has owned a business as well as being an employee dealing in customer service issues, I know how valuable all such seminars can be. Perhaps you and your staff will be able to take advantage of one of the two local training sessions on how to provide higher quality service to your customers.

June 12, 2008, 7:30 – 8:30 AM – Fresh Connect, a one-hour seminar sponsored by Virginia Western’s Workforce Development Services presents a customer service seminar at Ukrop’s Roanoke Ivy Market located at 2331 Franklin Road, SW in Roanoke.  The registration fee is $10.00 and continental breakfast will be provided.  Register as soon as possible by calling 540.857.6076 or email at pwillhite@vw.vccs.edu.
