CX: Customer Success 1.0 It makes a lot of sense to stay in touch with your clients to make sure they’re happy with who you are and what you’re doing.

CX: Professional Services 1.0 Professional Services is all about helping your customers get set up with the product or service you’re providing to them.

This course will look at what Tech Support actually means, who and what it involves, why it’s important, and ways to do it.

As remote working grows, organizational silos tend to develop, especially in larger companies. This makes transparent communication imperative.
Digital Customer Service 1.0 A thriving business in the hospitality industry means fully booked rooms. However, in this day and age, it’s necessary that businesses are always monitoring trends. The top companies know the minute they stop innovating is the moment they begin sinking.

When you rely on physical space as a revenue stream, doing maintenance on that physical space because of upgrades and redesigns can be risky. So how do you stay relevant, remain efficient, and provide the best service to your customers? 
Excellence in Customer Service 2.0 In today’s economy, the competition for your customer’s business is tougher than ever. There will always be items in the equation over which you have little or no control—such as raw costs.

Five steps to Problem-Solving and Diffusing Upset Customers 2.0 Those of us in customer service can sometimes seem to have our work cut out for us.

This perspective positively impacts key business measures, so journey mapping is good financially.
Scalable Customer Relationships 1.0 Without customers, companies cease to exist. What began as one person’s vision of meeting a need, has flourished into an organization that has a mission and vision built around meeting that need. Customers must see what your company provides as a necessity in their lives — not just a desire — in order to compel them to purchase what you provide.
Stellar Customer Service Best Practices 1.0 This course will cover the best practices of industry leading companies who provide stellar customer service.
The Customer Journey 1.0 The Customer Journey describes the interactions people have with a company over time. All channels used by a company - telephone, digital, in-house, mail, broadcast, and so on - affect the customers' journey. The customer journey also concerns itself with what people do, experience, expect, how they feel about interactions, and their results, which hopefully ends in a purchase.
The Value of Customer Service 1.0 The value of customer service takes many forms as we work with our customers. First, it takes patience. Also, you must be present and be connected to others and the organization. Communication is key. Try to read people and the situation. And finally, you need to build value and importance within your team. 
Turning Customer Satisfaction into Customer Loyalty 1.0 Customer loyalty and retention are the holy grail in sales and in all areas of business. When you think about it, loyal customers are the bare bones of a business. Today, let us talk about how turning customer satisfaction into customer loyalty impacts a business. 
Understanding Those You Serve 1.0 To understand those you serve, you need to learn about understanding what others value. Everyone you serve has set values, and those values influence how they’ll select the product or service you're going to provide them. Their values will also dictate how they’re going to evaluate your service once they’ve received it. To do this, it’s important to know how to evaluate a customer’s set of values. When you buy something, you get a service or product, have you ever wanted it faster than what’s offered to you? The answer is probably yes; you want it right now.  
Using Empathy in the Customer Journey 1.0 In the hospitality industry, you’ll often face customers who may be frustrated or unhappy. How do you acknowledge these customers with empathy and assurance, while making it second nature in your daily routine?  
Using Feedback to Improve Service 1.0 There are two types of feedback that affect customer service. They’re customer feedback and team feedback. What happens internally within the organization can directly impact your customer’s satisfaction. Customer service can’t be a one size fits all. Each customer is unique, with unique needs. By integrating and analyzing feedback results, you can refine and improve your service at each touchpoint.
When You Can't Say Yes 1.0 There are times when you're serving someone, and you simply can't say yes. Despite trying your best to provide the highest service, situations occur that are out of your control and affect how you do your job. So, what do you do when you can’t say yes? 
When You Have to Say No 1.0 It’s logical to think that saying “no” is bad customer service. According to one of the Shepard Letters, there are six customer situations when saying “no” could be turned around to create a “yes” moment. What are the situations where you would have to say “no?” It’s the law, it’s company policy, you’re out of an item, or it just can’t be done. A substitution is a feasible option in many circumstances. Sometimes it’s an obvious choice, while other times, you may have to use a creative approach. With the right attitude, you may find that saying “no” is an opportunity to show how good you are.
Win Over that Difficult Person 1.0 We have all experienced it, difficult people are everywhere. Most of us encounter unreasonable people at some point in our lives. They may be stubborn or they may say no to every option. What do you do in this situation?

Check in with a Thought of the Day 1.0 As a leader, it’s essential to be involved and in touch with your employees by checking in each day. This doesn’t mean micro-management, but management trust and communication. With many workforces and teams operating virtually, it’s challenging to create and establish personal bonds with your employees, making staying in touch more crucial than ever before. 
Coach for Performance 1.0 The traditional role of a manager has changed significantly throughout the world of business. Gone are managers who command their team and control every facet of the workday; those still leading in this way are likely floundering. Over the last decade, organizations have changed significantly because of the digital age. Many companies have found success by investing in training and learning. In short, the role of managers resembles that of a coach. 
Developing Employees Who Stay 1.0 Some people precisely know what they want to do.

Facilitate a Culture of Accountability 1.0 How many times throughout your career have you watched those around you not being held accountable for their actions or lack thereof?

Hold Standing One-on-Ones 1.0 The thought of adding more meetings may cause feelings of dread but holding standing one-on-one meetings with your employees allows you to connect and build stronger connections. People can be complex as each person has unique traits and needs. Individual meetings provide you with a phenomenal opportunity to build a stronger team one person at a time.

Employees look to managers not only for guidance but for example. Insisting on good character means everyone must model that behavior.  It’s easy to say but it can be hard to implement in the real world. Good character may get you hired, but it is what you do with your character that matters. 
Knowing What You Don't Know 1.0 To be a leader means knowing what you know, and more importantly, what you don't know. You can think of knowledge as a two-sided coin; using what you know to make decisions and using what you don't know for growth and improvement. A job is never finished until you’ve determined what you’ve learned. Rarely does everything go wrong or right.

In order to effectively lead, you must understand that leadership goes beyond merely telling a person a job that must be done. Leadership entails thinking more about the organization as well as the individuals you lead. 
Leading Learning - Coaching Skills 1.0 Coaching is a wonderful thing to do.

Mentoring - Finding a Mentor 1.0 So, you know you want to find a mentor. But what are the best ways to go about it? Picking just anyone senior to be your mentor probably won’t help you. Remember, your time is precious, too. You want to find someone specific who will help you to achieve certain goals.

Mentoring - What is Mentoring 1.0 Mentoring isn’t just about one person helping another out. The whole point is to create a rewarding experience for both parties. And if you’re in a fortunate position, it’s great to give back to the people who want to be where you are someday.

Performance - Coaching Conversations 1.0 Coaching conversations can be an unpleasant part of a manager’s job. Not many people like to hear that they are not performing adequately. Managers tend to fear these conversations, worried that the conversation will turn highly personal and ugly. Although providing negative feedback is unavoidable, there are ways to make the conversation smoother and more productive in the long term.
Performance and Feedback Coaching 1.0 According to the International Coaches Federation, coaching is partnering with individuals in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. This is particularly important in today's uncertain and complex work environment. This course is designed for managers seeking new approaches to enhance employee performance. Coaching is a powerful leadership style that moves away from telling people what to do and fixing problems. Instead, questioning by the manager taps into the employee’s problem solving abilities, motivation and commitment. 
Stand Up for What You Believe 1.0 So much of leadership is about drawing a line in the sand and standing behind it. Such decisions require fortitude, strength of character, and plain old guts. Courage tends to rise to the forefront in times of stress. When people see their leaders making the tough calls, they feel emboldened to follow suit. Courage is essential to cohesion that is based on principle, not expediency.  
Tap into Their Passion, Unleash the Energy 1.0 How can you inspire passion and energy in your employees and your workplace? A good leader understands that to find the purposeful drive in each person, you need to reach them on an emotional and visceral level. By understanding what each person on your team loves – what excites them – will then turn their working into something closer to play. Tapping into this will engage your employees and retain your best talent.  
The Buck Stops Here 1.0 Accountability. Will you stand up and take the hit when things go sour? By contrast, do you have the capacity to step aside from the spotlight when things go well? Those questions address the root of accountability, responsibility, and recognition. 
The Heart of a Leader 1.0 Leadership is a crucial factor in the success or failure of a company or business. Your ability to step forward and lead your enterprise to success in competitive markets is both essential and irreplaceable. You need to identify the qualities of great leadership before you can put them into play in your own career. 
The Pygmalion Effect 1.0 The "Pygmalion Effect" is an interesting and useful tool to develop your employees. As a leader you create high expectations for your employees and in turn they will work towards meeting and exceeding those expectations. But remember, there can be a fine line between high expectations and unrealistic expectations. The first encourages growth; the latter encourages failure. 
Understanding Successful Negotiation 1.0 A common way that people deal with conflict is through negotiation. Negotiation is a process where two or more parties work toward an agreement. Negotiation is prevalent across almost every line of work and industry. While some people may feel confident in their negotiating skills, many people don’t know how to properly plan for a negotiation and may even feel anxious about it.  In this course, we will learn the five phases of negotiation. You will also learn about different methods of negotiation like mediation and arbitration.

Understanding Integrated Marketing Communications 1.0 Integrated marketing communications is an approach to promoting a message through multiple strategies that work together and reinforce one another. For example, a company may promote a new logo, slogan, or strategy through multiple media such as print, television, web, and social networks. Each approach may be slightly different for the specific medium, but they'll all direct the audience to the same message. The multiple media strategy can be designed in countless ways for maximizing creativity. 
What is Marketing? 1.0 Marketing is all the processes involved in getting a product or service from the manufacturer or seller to the ultimate consumer. It includes creating the product or service concept, identifying who is likely to purchase it, promoting it, and moving it through the proper selling channels. In addition, marketing is the process of understanding your customers and building and maintaining relationships with them. You should determine and pursue the ones that work best for you, and a unified approach between the Marketing and Sales teams.

People get frozen in their habits, expectations and methods, and they can get intimidated when these habits are threatened. When it’s time to change, it’s vital to go through a process of preparation.
Managing Conflict 2.0 Have you ever known someone that was just difficult to get along with? Sometimes, people seem to be looking for a reason to disagree with you. Even if you don’t work with someone like this, conflict will happen, whether it’s between you and an employee, or between two different employees. When conflict does arise, it’ll be up to you to manage it effectively and professionally. 
Managing Conflict in the Workplace 2.0 Dealing with conflict at work can be uncomfortable, frustrating, and tiring. However, conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing—it can help your team and company grow and improve. How you manage it can determine the success of the team, idea, or product. There are different managerial decisions you can make to diffuse and work through conflict, and different styles of managing conflict. 
Managing Employee Performance - A Look at Influences and Discipline 1.0 Sometimes, employees just aren't performing the way you want them to. This may simply be because they don't have the skills, or knowledge required to succeed, but there are other influences that can cause a person to perform less than adequately. Sometimes, addressing these influences directly will solve the problem; other times, you will have to take disciplinary action. Recognizing these influences and knowing the right way to discipline employees will help you to get your employees to the level you want.
Managing Team Development 1.0 Teams are groups of individuals who have come together under a common goal. For a team to function well, the members must
develop personal relationships with each other, and as we all know, relationships do not happen overnight. There is a series of phases
that happen before people make that kind of connection with each other. It is part of your job to guide and develop these connections.
Matching Applicants with Job Specifications and Conducting Interviews 1.0 As a manager, you may be asked to participate in or oversee the hiring process for an open position on your team. There are very many styles of interviewing and many ways to get the information you need to make the right hiring decision. However, there are some standard procedures you should follow.
Minimizing Gossip and Rumor 1.0 Engaging in speculation is a normal and healthy part of being in a group; it’s how people to express and satisfy their curiosity. However, when it’s used as an attack against a person or company, it becomes destructive. We have all seen people and businesses suffer as the result of unfair gossip or rumor. There are ways that you, as manager, can minimize this kind of negative speculation.
Model Effective Confrontation 1.0 As a leader, it’s important to learn how you can model effective confrontation techniques for your employees and approach conflict in a helpful way.  Anyone in management knows that difficult conversations are a major part of the job. 
More Methods for Training Delivery 1.0 A well-trained employee is one of a business’s most valuable assets. Depending on the type of training needed, you may choose one delivery method over another. Different delivery methods can provide different advantages to the employee being trained and to your organization. Keep in mind, however, that most good training programs will use a variety of delivery methods.
Motivating Employees - Performance Appraisals 1.0 In many companies, a performance appraisal takes the form of a bureaucratic activity that both employees and supervisors may find confusing and stressful. The problems a poor appraisal process can create may be so severe that many experts suggest abolishing appraisal systems altogether. However, when executed properly performance appraisals are proven to create higher levels of trust between employees and management and increased employee performance and motivation. 
Motivating Employees - Performance Incentives 1.0 Incentives are a great way to motivate employees. Financial incentives in particular, if used properly and with alignment to company-wide objectives, can be powerful motivators. Frequently used incentives can take various forms, including standard monetary incentives based on individual performance, creative incentives, and incentives based on corporate activity. 
Moving from What to How 1.0 With the growth and progress of a company, it’s often necessary for the organization to be restructured, reorganized, or even completely renewed. When this happens, your employees will look to you for honest communication and unwavering support as everything changes around them.

Onboarding - The Power of Day One 1.0 Starting a new job can be a very difficult experience. It is important that any business or organization helps their new employees feel positive and welcome from their very first day. This is the time where new employees form very strong impressions about your organization; you must work to ensure that these impressions attract them to their new jobs and make them feel at ease.

Onboarding - Transmitting Culture 1.0 When we talk about organizational culture, we're talking about the set of key values, beliefs, and attitudes that are shared among an organization’s members. The organizational culture will affect most aspects of procedures and operations, sometimes through conscious effort and sometimes through unconscious absorption. It is important that you understand your organizational culture and how it can affect your employees.
Onboarding - Why You Should Care 1.0 Why is onboarding important? One of the first impressions a new employee has  about an employer is shaped during the onboarding process.  Onboarding is an opportunity to introduce important information to new employees and to set them up with the tools they need for success.
Onboarding Tools 1.0 Most organizations have some type of onboarding program for new employees, but not all are effective. The onboarding process is so important because it sets the tone for an employee’s tenure with an organization. Therefore, a well-thought out, well-planned onboarding process lays a solid, positive foundation for a new employee, whereas a poorly planned or poorly executed one can leave the employee feeling unsure or unconfident about their place in the organization. There are many tools you can use to create the type of onboarding program that will set employees up to thrive within your company.
Organizing the Performance Appraisal Process and Conducting Appraisal Interviews 1.0 How do your employees know if they are doing a good job?

Orientation - Where Do We Go From Here? 1.0 Have you ever been tossed into a job and left to sink or swim? If so, you know how important thorough orientation can be. Sound hiring decisions, followed by thorough orientation, minimize turnover and boost productivity and morale. In addition, savvy managers cash in on orientation’s opportunity to hit new employees with all the positive aspects about the job, department, and organization before their enthusiasm is dulled by the cynical views of coworkers whose enthusiasm may have diminished.
Pay Types and Considerations 1.0 There are many variables that go into the decisions HRM must make with organizational leadership to determine how employees are paid. Some of the factors to be considered when an organization creates a pay system include things such as the potential growth of the organization, as well as the methods used to incentivize and compensate employees.
Performance - A Manager's Responsibility 1.0 Why is performance management good for business and what are some of the reasons we don't usually do performance management very well? When a manager doesn't deal with poor performance in their location, it becomes poor performance on the part of the manager. We hold managers accountable to the performance of their employees, and to working and developing the quality, effectiveness and efficiency of the employees who work with them. 
Performance Appraisal System Errors and Legal Considerations 2.0 Why are performance appraisal systems important and what can possibly go wrong with them? Learn about the potential pitfalls of performance appraisal systems and the legal considerations present.
Performance Appraisals 1.0 Employees generally want their managers to tell them three things: what they should be doing, how well they're doing it, and how they can improve their performance. Good managers address these issues on an ongoing basis and also conduct regular official appraisals. Knowing the best ways to provide this feedback is a tremendous asset for you and your employees.
Practicing Advanced Retention Strategies 1.0 Managers have a profound effect on whether or not employees want to continuing working for the company. In a recent Gallup poll of one million workers, poor management was the top cause of resignations. Incompetent managers, bullying managers, or managers with poor communication skills can seriously damage employee morale, thus leading to a high turnover. Manager training is important to minimizing this negative impact. There are many different ways in which management policy can improve employees’ perception of their jobs.
Productive Conflict Resolution - An Introduction 1.0 When conflict is present in an organization it can cause stress and uncertainty. By reframing how employees think
about conflict, and by using team agreements to put a framework for dealing with conflict in place, much of that
stress can be redirected into productivity.
Promoting your Staff Effectively 2.0 The course examines what’s called ‘The Peter Principle’. It’s a concept that explains the phenomenon of being promoted to the point of incompetence. A good follower doesn’t necessarily make a good leader, that kind of thing. It looks at the statistics behind this and other promotion issues, and will give you an idea of what you can do to avoid the pitfalls.
Provide Challenge and Support 1.0 You have most likely heard the term, "Provide challenge AND support." However, it’s important to step back and think of the level of challenge and support each person working for you has. Do some team members feel overwhelmed and under-supported? Are others supported, but not necessarily challenged? For each person, this invisible line is always different.  
Providing Government-Mandated Benefits 2.0 Although many employee benefits are offered on a voluntary basis, some benefits are required by law. There are set standards for these benefits and for how they are administered. It is important to understand how these work.
Providing Voluntary Benefits - Incentive Pay and Paid Time Off 1.0 How are good employees rewarded? There are many different types of compensation and benefits that help a company stay relevant and competitive to employees. Although types of compensation vary, their purpose is the same: to recruit, reward, and retain the best employees and give a company a competitive advantage.

However, they can be a tremendous motivator and an excellent retention tool. Although they are useful, they are also costly.  It is the duty of HR professionals to choose the most cost-efficient benefits to offer.

However, before you take those steps, you should understand some theories of job satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Right People - Right Roles 1.0 We’ve all heard stories about someone not being the “right fit,” but in the highly competitive world of hospitality, it’s crucial to get that fit right.

It is also not a process that occurs in a vacuum, as it involves and impacts multiple parties.

An organization that plans a fulsome onboarding process will help new employees’ integration be painless and fruitful.
What Makes a Great Place to Work 1.0 Happy employees are motivated employees. The better people feel about their jobs, the harder they work. Most people report that they are happiest with their work when they are challenged, respected, treated fairly, and appreciated.

Courses & Descriptions

Adaptive Selling 1.0 Adaptive selling allows you to truly listen, understand the customer’s needs, and then adapt your conversation and presentation accordingly. If you give a canned presentation, you won't learn what the customer thinks is important. The only way you can find out is by listening, asking questions, and adapting your recommendations and presentation. Adaptive selling is much easier to do when you establish a relationship with the customer. 
Always Be Closing 2.0 You can get everything right during a sales pitch, but if the close isn’t on point, it’s all for nothing. You need to learn how to end on a ‘yes’. This course will help. The course is a quick overview of the necessity of closing sales well, plus an outline of some important closing types. It also runs through the pros and cons of each, and the necessity for a good ‘groundwork’ conversation for any closing technique to work. It’s more an overview than an in-depth investigation, and is useful for a refresh or to learn something quickly. 
Asking Questions 3.0 You cannot sell without gathering information and it’s tough to gather information without asking questions. This course will show you how to use questions during the sale.

Claim or Create Value in Negotiations 1.0 In most negotiations, the underlying issue is an information problem. You never have all the information that you want. If you use competitive tactics to try and claim the biggest piece of the pie, you can put the other party on the defensive. If you put the other party on the defensive, they'll be less likely to disclose information. So how do you create value in negotiations? 
Closing 2.0 Having an understanding of how to close the sale is one of the most vital parts of the sales process. If you can't close the sale, you can't make the sale!

Connecting Sales and Branding to Achieve Success 1.0 How does sales and branding play key role in achieving success in your business? Selling is vital in all aspects of business, just as it is in daily life. But, in today’s world, successful selling is not something you do “to” a customer, it’s something you do “with” a customer. The customer has a voice and is involved in most selling situations.

Creating Customer Trust 1.0 When people make promises that they don’t keep, you lose trust in them. It’s unlikely that you’ll trust a person who doesn’t deliver on what they say. You can see why trust is so important in selling.

The first step starts with how well you are prepared to earn the customer’s respect and trust. 
Developing Your Prospecting Skills 1.0 You can compare prospecting to setting up a plan and laying the foundation for a building project.

and tension, we can help alleviate it.

In this course, you will learn about job stress and how it affects employee and company health. 
Stress Management - Stress Awareness Comes First 1.0 There are two kinds of stress people deal with: motivating stress that helps you get things done, and paralyzing stress that stands in the

Take a Hard Look in the Mirror 1.0 The best leadership is done through tough self-examination. Not a little meditation and self-reflection, although important, but actually looking in the mirror and being able to stand by the choices the person in front of you has made.

The Angry Unsent Letter 1.0 What are you supposed to do when you start to reach boiling point? You’re being pushed to your edge, someone’s trying to get a reaction from you, or maybe they’re unknowingly making your life harder with their carelessness or ignorance?We’ve all been there, silently enraged.

Turn Away From Tech 1.0 Technology. It’s great. We’ve sent a space station into the sky. We have telescopes watching and learning about the galaxy. Online, we’ve educated ourselves, immortalized classic texts, music, speeches...  and we’ve video-called family members on the other side of the world, as though they were in the next room.There’s no denying technology is amazing. But in most of our lives, there’s an undeniable, dark flipside to it all. Social media, too many apps, notifications and group chat conversations can be distracting, counter-productive, and at their worst, can make you miserable. This course aims to start cracking down on your bad habits, so you can be happier.
Understanding Emotion 1.0 When was the last time you masked an emotion at work? Perhaps you were sad about a family issue, or cranky due to lack of sleep,
and tried to cover these feelings. How often do you hide your true emotions to preserve a professional persona? Emotions shape an
individual’s belief about the value of a job, a company, or a team. Emotions also affect behaviors at work. Research shows that
individuals within your own inner circle are better able to recognize and understand your emotions.
What are Emotions 1.0 Financial analysts measure the value of a company in terms of profits and stock. For employees, however, the value of a job is also emotional.

Workplace Stress Prevention 2.0 While OSHA covers many areas relating to health and safety at work, a few other areas are also important to mention. Stress management, office-related injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and no-fragrance areas are all contemporary issues surrounding employee health and safety.
