An intensive course

Due to a recent merger, four colleagues need to improve their communication skills in English, so that they can fluently handle routine customer quiries by phone. The students have received feedback from both customers and the service manager:

  • Customers find it difficult to understand them.
  • They have strong accents which makes them difficult to understand.
  • Customers sometimes find the service rude or blunt.

Example 2

Presenting in English

As a client company broadens its reach into new markets, they find that their sales team lack good presentation skills in English.

  • The sales people do not speak fluent English.
  • The key selling arguments are not being clearly explained to the audience. • Audiences from other countries find their presentations hard to follow.
  • The new audiences ask more questions than the sales people are used to receiving.
  • The sales people now also have to give some of the presentations remotely via video meetings, which they find difficult.
