EFFECTIVE CLIENT COMMUNICATION FOR LEGAL SUPPORT STAFF
Duration: 1 day
"How support staff can help to build and maintain client relationships"
Secretarial and reception staff have a vital role to play in delivering the firm's standards of service quality and in achieving the desired levels of client satisfaction.
In many cases a client's first experience of the firm is the way they are treated at reception or the way their enquiry is handled on the phone. Managing first impressions and being able to assist the client in an informed and helpful way is a critical part of the role of reception and secretarial staff.
The regular day to day contact with clients is one of the principle ways that secretaries can add value to the quality of service that the firm provides for its clients.
