BeHired #6. How to communicate better with customers (09.29)
We know what it's like—looking for a job in Canada for the first time, or working here for the first time.
If you're getting ready to start working, or already navigating tough customer moments on the job, we're sharing how to communicate smarter with customers.
You thought getting the job would be the hard part. Then you're on the floor, face to face with a customer, and your mind goes blank. An unexpected question. An unfamiliar cultural moment. And English that still feels harder than it should.
We've heard it from past trainees in our career development program — the customer communication struggles they went through, right here in Canada.
This session takes those on directly. To help you work smarter in Canada, we invited a communication and language training expert. Mina will cover 5 key topics, with paired role-play included.
5 things this session covers
The 6 situations that trip people up most in customer interactions
A simple framework for listening and confirming accurately
Business language that builds trust and sounds professional
How to say no without losing the customer
