White Paper Explores a Fresh New Approach for Coaching Customer Service Professionals

Vienna, VA (August 18, 2009) –

Parature, a global leader in on-demand customer service software, announced today the release of a free white paper offering customer service and support professionals effective strategies for coaching their service teams to success. The white paper entitled “How to Tell Anyone Anything: Coaching Your Service Team to Success” is available for download in Parature’s white paper library.

Those who manage people know that it is often challenging to provide ‘constructive criticism’ or feedback without causing their employees to become defensive. All too often human nature and an instinctive need to defend ourselves takes over, resulting in resentment or resistance to suggestions for change. So, how can managers give feedback that doesn’t result in defensive behavior and that really changes performance? How to Tell Anyone Anything: Coaching Your Service Team to Success explores a fresh new approach to coaching service professionals. It is an approach based on recent developments in the psychology of how we communicate with each other that focuses on strength-based coaching versus deficit-based coaching. Training techniques that have a track record of creating real performance and behavior change are an invaluable asset in today’s challenging economic environment when customer retention has never been more important. Customer service leaders want their teams to create great customer experiences that increase customer loyalty, but to do this they must have a service team of professionals capable of effective communication. Therefore, it is imperative that they discover an appropriate coaching strategy that will enable them to bring about change and achieve their desired customer retention rates.
