Customer Service
OnTrack's customer service training focuses on the people and the process skills. We believe customer service is more than just exceeding customer expectations. We believe it is about an obsessive drive to understand, connect and deliver service with passion and feeling. It's not always what we say and do, it's the way we make the customer feel that matters most!
This product area is led by Mary Tillson. Mary has developed her expertise in her private and business life. She has been in the world of customer care for some 30 years now. Mary helped establish the first Customer Care Call Centre for American Express and went on to jointly run their Authorisation department which was a 24/7 global function.
Mary has analysed 1000's of customer interactions which provided the basis to develop a range of techniques, tools and approaches that have proved to be highly successful. Clients she and her team have worked with include: Toyota, SITA, Diageo, Iron Mountain, Dorling Kindersley, Virgin, Jaguar, Barclays Bank, HBOS, and many more.

Motor industry
OnTrack created a solution for this car giant, which developed the ability of the customer facing teams, from two sectors to be able to effectively handle customer complaints, and turn them from critics to champions. This was achieved mainly through developing the delegates' ability to demonstrate listening which sends a powerful signal that they care about the customer. This method will calm the customer down, inspire confidence and enable control to be regained, with both parties listening. This solution was extended to take advantage of the OnTrack coaching solution to develop the line managers as coaches. The line managers were then able to further develop the skills introduced in the training, and able to release the latent talent and develop behavioural change within the teams through ongoing coaching and feedback.
Airline industry
A major programme of design, delivery and development of a team of Champions within this airline, to deliver the programme to 1800 employees which centred on two key initiatives- 1) Experiencing the Customer Journey – A highly motivational and interactive 1 day event delivered to 150 at a time, the intention being to motivate, enthuse, inspire and develop a hunger to learn more, and to change behaviours, followed by: 2) Getting Closer to the customer- a 2 days skills programme delivered in smaller groups. The critical focus of this solution was to remember that customers are human first and foremost, and to adopt a ++/win-win mentality towards every customer. This in turn drove an Adult communication style, leading to positive outcomes for all parties at each customer touch-point.
Airport and airline technology company
This was a global programme for a global company, to develop a Customer First mentality, which led to Customer First behaviour. This mentality was then explored to discover how it can drive up business success and growth. The focus was on developing this mentality with individuals into a collective which would lead to an organisational mentality. In addition to developing this positive mentality, the teams were taught a range of skills and techniques that enabled them to deliver exceptional customer service, which was in keeping with this global company's value system.
