About This Course
Being a receptionist is often equated to smiling often and dressing neatly. While these two are foremost to being excellent in the job, there are more skills required in order to perform a service that is at par with the image of the establishment you are presenting. Being in the first line of client transactions, the receptionist has to be able to give direct answers to any inquiries. He/she needs to know all there is to know about the goings-on of the business and its relationships with the outside world.
No matter how big or small an establishment is, be it a spa clinic or a megacorporation, a receptionist is essential in paving the way to acquiring clients and enticing potential clients. Some large businesses investing in highly-quality reception services even have multilingual, culturally diverse receptionists, able to cater to important personalities and a wide range of clients.
In this course, the participant will learn the ideal traits and skills of an excellent receptionist and how to use them in appropriate situations. It will also introduce them to the extensive duties and responsibilities of a receptionist in any business.
