PROGRAM: At Your Service™
(a.k.a., Lead with customer service)
PERFECT FOR: Anyone who wants to empower their staff dealing with the public, strategically use resources to create memorable customer experiences, and increase their client satisfaction levels. You’re a leader, manager, or could be a front-line staff member, guest relations pro, healthcare provider, or client rep. Whatever your position, you provide a service to both internal colleagues and external customers and stakeholders — they’re all your clients. You work for a public, private or not-for-profit organization that is client-oriented and interested in fostering customer satisfaction, loyalty, referrals, and repeat business.
FORMAT OPTIONS: Keynote (to get inspired), briefing session (to whet your appetite) OR workshop (to learn new skills). Private coaching is also available.
NOTE: All programs are available in-person OR virtually online. Your choice. Either way, your program will be interactive and full of hands-on learning.
DURATION OPTIONS: 60-minute keynote; OR 90-minute briefing; OR half-day, full-day, to multi-day facilitated workshop. Scope and content of the presentation will be modified to accommodate your learning objectives and the amount of time you allocate to this session.
NOTE: This, and all my communication topics, are also available as coaching or consulting packages.
Customer service is our reason for being, and Marion gave us lots of great advice on how we can make it even better.

Of particular value to our group was the constant interaction that Marion promoted among participants … We would highly recommend Marion Grobb Finkelstein as the facilitator of your event. Arlene K. Stone, Q.A.A. National Vice President, Association of Administrative Assistants
DESCRIPTION: Imagine if you had a formula to provide amazing customer service. It would begin with understanding various communication styles, including your own, and how to build bridges between them, allowing you to connect with all types of clients. It would include hard-core, proven techniques for establishing rapport, dealing with difficult people and situations, and creating wonderful and lasting impressions.
You would unlock your ability to build relationships, reinforce your organization’s brand, and grab the competitive edge. Marion’s “At Your Service” program pulls from her 30-plus years of in-the-trenches experience as a Director Communications and Promotion at international airports, national museums and federal institutions. She candidly shares real-life stories of customer service challenges along with solutions she’s honed to manage them. You will never look at customer service in quite the same way … and the lucky recipients of your service will notice.
As a result of attending Marion’s program, our members say that they’ve improved their ability to manage, feel less stressed and more in control, and will be approaching clients differently. Nicole McCallion, Special Events Coordinator, Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association
