Customer Service Training Games

Are you looking for a customer service training game to try out on your staff?  This game serves as a gimmick to make participants realize that there are literally hundreds of ways they can offer great customer service to customers.  Each participant uses the letters of his or her name to inspire service-oriented actions.  It’s a fun activity to use as an energizing “filler” or as a warm-up to a more intensive customer service training session.

What You’ll Need
Each participant will need a piece of paper and a pen.  You’ll need a flip-chart or white board and markers.

What to Do
1.  Tell each participant to write his or her name vertically along the center of a sheet of paper.  Demonstrate by writing your name on a flip-chart or white board.

                              M

                              A

                              R

                              Y

2.  Tell participants that now their task is to use each letter of their name to come up with an action that they can take to offer great service to their customers.  Each letter of their name must begin with a word in the action phrase, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the first word of the phrase.  Actions can be phrased either positively or negatively.  For example:
                        Be Motivated to serve.
                              Ask if there’s anything else I can do for them.
                              Respect their needs.
                    Don’t Yodel in the customer’s presence.

3.  Encourage participants to have fun with this activity and to be as creative as possible.

4.  Ask staff to share what they came up with and suggest they post it at their work station.
