Анотация:

COURSE OUTLINE AND OBJECTIVES

The course introduces a number of Omni-channel practice-oriented skills as a set of tools within typical communicative situations of a globally distributed environment. It focuses on the “secrets” of a balanced communication between CSRs (Customer Service Representatives) as well as between CSR and various types of customer profiles aiming to build a ‘shared space’ in the long run. Participants are expected to acquire the soft skills to interact appropriately with a variety of English speaking customers mostly on the phone, life chat or other web based channels in Global Operation Centers (such as IBM, HP, Atos/Unify/ex-Siemens, Ingram Micro etc.).

Lectures will be delivered as associatively guided discussions on typical communicative situations in Service and Global Delivery Centers, extracted from the experience of Dr. Ludmil Duridanov as a Lecturer at German Universities (Freiburg, Jena, Erfurt, Leipzig) and Consultant and Area Manager of the German Postbank RE Division Jena /former BHW Immobilien GmbH/ (2004-2009).

During practice-oriented consultations (online and face-to-face) the lecturer communicates with the course participants using:

- Email, Skype, Zoom, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook (consulting participants at any time)

- Moodle (as a virtual blackboard)

- Google Docs (consulting participants to elaborate and synchronize working sheets and case analyses).

- Dropbox and Google Drive (online platforms to share files < 2 GB).
