Customer Service

In competitive markets, Customer Service is an element that sets a business apart. Feeling valued as a customer boosts sales, improves positive reviews, and leads to customer loyalty. Providing exceptional customer service requires more than having designated Customer Service agents. It requires a fully trained staff ensuring your customers receive the attention and care they desire.

Conflict Resolution

Conflict is inevitable. Everyone brings their own expectations, values, personalities and histories to work with them. Those differences are a source of strength and creativity. They’re also a source of conflict. Conflict will happen, but conflict, in and of itself, is not a bad thing. Handled correctly, it is an opportunity to learn and grow.

Active Shooter

Active Shooter Training prepares us to survive the worst. It reduces panic and saves lives. The Department of Homeland Security states that the best way to effectively respond to an active shooter and help minimize loss of life is to create an Emergency Action Plan and conduct training exercises.
