The Customer Service Standard Certification Limited (CSSC) hosted ‘Let’s Talk Service 2015’ at the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce. The purpose of the event was to address the issue of customer service in a more meaningful way, by introducing the International Customer Service Standard as a viable solution.

 

The conference opened with Director and Co-Founder Mr. Darren Jones, who called for the need of more meaningful conversations on customer service in Trinidad and Tobago and introduced the International Customer Service Standard (ICSS) as a holistic tool to efficiently remedy the challenges of customer service.  Mr. Jones issued a rallying call, stating that the quest for improvement in customer service was alive and vibrant as he reaffirmed CSSC’s commitment to ensure meaningful improvement.

 

The conference kicked off with an entertaining social commentary from comedian Keevan Lewis who had the audience buzzing with laughter as he gave a humorous but vivid view of the customer service environment-much to the attendees’ approval.

 

Guest Speaker Kenneth Corbie gave an energy-packed and dynamic presentation on understanding the relationship of authenticity and how it relates to standardization. He called on guest to carry the Trinbagonian spirit to the workplace. Mr. Corbie had the audience look within themselves, drawing out, the true meaning of authenticity. Attendees soon realized the real possibility of improvement and meaningful change. This resulted in attendees standing and making a commitment to do something significant for customer service in Trinidad and Tobago.

She called on guests to embrace the International Customer Service Standard to address the many customer service challenges in Trinidad and Tobago.
