3.0 MARKETING, CUSTOMER SERVICE AND LOGISTICS
Getting new business is a constant and never-ending process. From the moments you are given to make your pitch the job is yours to lose. If they've agreed to see you, then they must be attracted to something you have. To create the very best pitch, you need to be able to create two-way empathetic communication; giving them an actual experience of what working with you would be like (not just another PowerPoint slide). Work out what you need to ask them, not just prepare for what you're going to tell them; spice up your pitch presentation so they are eager to ask questions. You can have a great team, with experience and knowledge in depth, but if your Presentation and Pitching Skills are not doing justice to the talent involved, it's time to call in the experts!

Traditionally, retirement (whether mandatory, voluntary or otherwise – leaving paid employment) should be a period of leisure, fulfillment and perhaps, self-rediscovery. It can also be a time of economic challenges. Indeed, some retirees or those leaving paid employment before retirement age have even turned their lifelong hobbies into successful enterprises while some others used the opportunity to commence the business of their dreams. On the other hand, retirement or leaving paid employment has become scary to some other people. In fact, the stress and trauma of sudden loss of job or the reality of imminent loss of employment invariably create serious social economic and health problems for employees particularly after disengagement. Many even resign in despair and hardly ever recover again. The major cause of this state of affair is because of lack of adequate pre-retirement preparation. This Workshop therefore is designed to adequately equip and prepare employees to appreciate that leaving paid employment is one of the changes and challenges that is inevitable in working life and to prepare them psychologically to face the imminent challenge with positive goals and objectives in mind.

A primary purpose of any business is to create and keep customers! Customer acquisition and retention evolve far beyond customer service - in fact, customer "service" has reached commodity status. You can get "service" just about anywhere you go. So how do you stand out from the crowd?
To be truly unbeatable in the customer service arena, the best companies today compete - and win - based on the rich, memorable experience they consistently provide their customers. When was the last time you considered the value of your customers' experience when working with you or your company? How do they really feel when they leave your office? Alive and invigorated, or dull and de-motivated?
This seminar takes customer service to a higher level by emphasising practical, real-world strategies for staging a reliably unbeatable experience - one that will have your customers consistently talking favourably about your organisation.

Often, accidents, or at least serious incidents, are blamed on human errors or “mistakes”. The human errors are easily observed at the time immediately preceding the accident, and are assumed to be responsible for the occurrence. This is not entirely true, as accidents tend to be caused by more underlying causes, usually not apparent at the time accidents occur. Underlying causes include failure of systems at the workplace, and these must be focused in order to determine the real causes of accidents and incidents.
