9:45 am - 10:30 am Panel Session : Building A Positive Culture In Service Teams

Having engaged, satisfied employees is especially important when it comes to service technicians. Your technicians are onsite with customers and if they aren’t happy with your company, customers will pick up on that. Our panelists discuss the steps they take to ensure a positive culture within their service teams, including:

• Understanding the impact that quality service has on customer satisfaction and on your bottom line
• Summarizing the aspects of your service that differentiate you and formalizing into best practices that all technicians should follow
• Marketing your company’s emphasis on quality service and delivery
