Task 3: Project – Develop a Communication plan

Step 1 - Review BizOps Customer Service Policy and Organisational


Plan.
1. Keep training all staff in customer service not only just in their induction period and add
more training courses whether it be advanced communication skills and how to handle
customers in a hard situation.

2. Evaluate the functionality and impact of the plan by a brief survey at the end of each call
with the customer if desired, otherwise continue to have online channels or extension on
the phone line for complaints and queries. 

3. Recruit a new part time staff for work during busy hours

ANSWER: With the aim of maintaining an excellent level of service in our commercial department
and responding to the demand in the increase in telephone sales, we have thought of the
following ideas that can be very useful to achieve the goals of the company:
1. The education of the employees will not only be determined during their induction period, it will
be constant during their stay in the company according to a training plan that will be created with
different options to ensure that the personnel get the type of skills and adequate training
according to the area in which they operate.
2. To ensure that our clients are advised in the best way, we propose to classify calls by areas so
that they are attended by suitable personnel with extensive knowledge to provide reliable and
secure support to our clients.
3. Finally, in order to meet the demand of the increase in telephone sales and in order to maintain
high standards of customer service and avoid increasing the workload of current employees, the
company will increase the number of customer service personnel and all these personnel. Must
have formal retail qualifications and receive internal training in product and service knowledge

Student must delete instructions when complete and before submission
Position statement:  In the company there has been an increase in sales in the last three
months of 30%, due to the high demand the number of calls will increase,
which is why the customer service department can be exposed to
deteriorate its quality with customers

Not training employees on time or correctly for a high sales flow.

Not having enough staff to handle the high flow of sales.

The hiring of new personnel and new training was not within the
budget but they are costs that must be incurred if you want to continue
growing in reputational sales and if you want to achieve the objectives
of the company.

If the training and new staff are not able to adapt to the process on
time, the quality of customer service will decrease, which will lead to a

Greystone College Australia: BSBCMM511 Assessment Templates Version 1.0221


Page 16 of 30
loss of sales, not being able to sell all the inventory as planned, bad
reputation in the market.
Objectives of It is expected to reach an agreement within the company to be able to
negotiation change the training strategy and achieve that the staff is not trained
only when the induction of admission is done but have more training,
additionally it seeks to reach an agreement for the hiring of more staff
for the hours where a large flow of sales calls is evident.

Finally, it seeks to implement a customer satisfaction survey with which


the work of the staff can be analyzed and in which factors it can be
improved and continue training.

Stakeholder As a BizOps team, everyone who is involve in this strategy plays an


needs/requirements important role.
Samantha Rangel, Phone Sales department Manager, Will work on the
design, development and evaluation of the strategy.

If we only train our staff just in the induction period, the staff will

Page 17 of 30
understand customer service, they will not know about how to provide
the best service for customer satisfaction or cannot handle customer
complaints. So, we need to keep training our staff in customer service
and add more training courses such as advance communication skill
and how to handle with customer in a hard situation
The analysed results of “Effect of staff training on customer service”
show that 93.3% of the respondents agree on the view that customers
complaints are handled professionally after the training 90.0% has
agree that the training has highly improved on their skills in delivering
quality service and 90.0% of the respondents agreed that they are
satisfied with their improvement in quality service.(Timothy, 2020)

-Recruit a new part-time staff for work in a busy hours


We do not have enough staff to provide a service to the customer in
this situation because we have a higher demand for phone orders. If
we do not have enough staff, it will impact the standard of service
level. The customer will have a bad experience in our service whether it
be waiting a call for a long time or our staff providing an inefficient
service because they are tired from receiving so many calls each day .
So we need to hire new part-time staff to work during busy hours. We
plan to hire part-time staff, not full-time staff because the cost of hiring
part-time staff is lower than hiring full-time staff. 

-Create a quick survey and do it at the end of the calls to get


customer’s feedback
The customer satisfaction survey helps us to find what areas that we
need to improve and it can provide the opportunity to address any
concerns.

period, it will be continuous during their stay in the company according to a
training plan that will be carried out with different options to ensure that
the staff obtain the type of appropriate skills and training.
2. To ensure that our customers are served in the best way, we propose to
classify calls by areas so that they are handled by appropriate personnel
with extensive knowledge to provide reliable and secure support to our
customers.
3. In order to strengthen the demand of the increase in telephone sales
and in order to maintain high standards of customer service and avoid
increasing the workload of current employees, the company will hire more
