The good news is most are very happy to hear from you, appreciate that we called and enjoy chatting with us. However, at times they may wish to share some personal experiences that do not meet our expectations, so an empathetic approach is important. These interactions are crucial as they contribute to strengthening customer relationships through high-trust, meaningful conversations. Our Deep Listening Program is a cornerstone of our commitment to understanding the Voice of our Customers and is a source of great pride for SCCQ.

\n
• You must have the ability to summarise the key messages of conversations.
