Empowering Soft Skills
For companies doing business locally or internationally, the performance of soft skills has a real impact on customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, business growth and profitability.

We can help you to achieve:
- Customer Service That Your Competitors Cannot Easily Match
- Better Confidence - Optimism - Respect - Enthusiasm - Effectiveness - CORE-E
- Better Handling of Difficult Customers and Situations
- Better Communication Skills
- A One Team Mindset
- Greater Resilience When Facing Change and Challenges
- More Sales Opportunities
- Better Time Management - Increasing Your Margin and Bottom Line
- Enhanced Job Satisfaction
Communication Skills
We help people to be better with all aspects of communicating and demonstrating value.
- In writing - from emails to reports, requests and recommendations
- On site - from the first to the last lasting-impression
- Reading people - from reading to managing body language and tone
Customer Service Excellence Skills
We all need a refresher and some fresh perspectives from time to time. We can help you to:
- Build consistency
- Demonstrate ways to get customers and colleagues on side
- Differentiate your brand by having better skills than your competitors
Handling Difficult Customers
When under pressure, humans become reactive, sometimes this is helpful but not always. This is why we provide tools that help people to:
- De-escalate conflict
- Make better decisions and communicate more effectively when under fire
- Focus on the need without forgetting all that’s good about your solutions. Which can also be helpful for stopping customers from using past failures to gain discounts
Building Resilient Teams
Resilience affects the quality of our performance and our lives. This is a key part of our recipe for success. We can give your team tools for:
- Understanding and managing stress, fear, frustration and even anger
- Working better together with others (colleagues or customers)
- Improving their lives
The way that we train and coach people makes them feel invested in.
Increasing Sales Opportunities
Some of the best sales people are your Engineers. They are close to
customers and they can:
- Identify opportunities
- Make trusted recommendations
- Demonstrate value (or undermine it by saying the wrong thing)
- Selling without selling is a skill that we can help your team to develop.
Working as One Team
It doesn’t hurt to be reminded that how and what we communicate brings out the best in others, especially:
- When we are under pressure
- When customer needs or expectations are not being met
- When we need help and support
Time Management - Your Bottom Line
When we talk about time management we really mean task, people and process management.
One example is avoiding giving customers the ‘black hole experience’ (illustrated in the flow chart below) which is when they have uncertainty. Uncertainty increases stress and this can trigger what customers imagine will happen next and unhelpful reactions. By using our DDT tool (day, date, time) and technique employees can:
- Demonstrate ownership of customer needs
- Work more effectively and efficiently together
- Manage their workload and priorities in smarter ways
Job Satisfaction
PSL training offers a low cost high return on investment that will:
- Make your team feel invested in
- Make their lives more interesting and rewarding
- Make their service even better for internal and external customers
Your people are and can be exceptional. Their potential and growth is your future.
