Starwood Hotels and Resorts, one of the world's largest hotel and leisure companies, has selected Baker Communications to deliver specialized effective customer service training for its IT group. Starwood is a repeat user of Baker training, and when the company recognized a need for service training in their information technology department, they turned to BCI’s Effective Customer Service training workshop for IT professionals. Baker will be able to deliver the training workshop on-site for the benefit of Starwood’s IT group.

An Exceptional Customer Service Training Expert and Senior Level Instructor with Baker Communications will travel to Stamford, Connecticut to meet with Starwood’s IT staff. During this highly interactive training session, attendees of the IT customer service training workshop will gain expertise in communicating with different personality types and handling angry individuals, allowing them to deal effectively with difficult situations and defuse conflict when it arises. Participants will also gain practical experience using effective service and communication techniques, such as Active Listening, to quickly establish rapport with others and work toward finding effective solutions for their issues.
