      Description

Your patrons only care what you know, when they know that you care. The 
relationships that library staff and management build with their patrons 
today will be greatly influenced by how the customer feels about their 
experiences with your library. The emotions they feel from previous 
visits to your library will help them to decide to return again or to 
never come back. Are patrons "interrupting" the work that you are doing, 
or is the patron viewed as "the reason the library exists?"

The Emotional Customer Service: Making Connection with Patrons Web-Ex 
Workshop focuses on the how to's and benefits of building relationships 
with your patrons and the emotions that they feel when they interact 
with your library and staff.

*Participants will learn and begin to master:*
. The words and phrases that make patrons feel appreciated and welcomed 
in the library
. Turning around patrons complaints and other unwanted behaviors by 
focusing them on the problem and solutions, and not the drama of the 
situation
. Customer Service Checklist (Mini-Assessment)
. How to recognize system breakdowns and to create solutions for the 
problem, instead of just "putting up" with or only complaining about it
. Supporting the library management in measuring and improving customer 
service
. Utilizing low and no cost customer service improvements
. The benefits of building relationships with patrons and others in the 
community

Light snacks will be provided.
