ServiceSims Challenge Series

Interactive Customer Service Training

Interactive Learning Experience for Customer Service Reps

The ServiceSims℠ Challenge Series is made up of 12 scenario-based modules that will help your employees navigate difficult customer service situations.

These aren’t lecture videos—they are interactive lessons. After a situation is introduced, your employees will be able to choose between two “paths,” or ways to resolve the problem. Then they are able to see the aftermath of their decision, whether it was wrong or right.

By trial and error, your customer service representatives will learn why some service techniques work while others don’t.

Each 10-minute module engages your employee, giving them the strategies they need to successfully navigate any potential client situation.
