Learning Modules
 
Meeting & Greeting
How are your visitors greeted when they walk through your doors? With a welcoming smile and a friendly attitude? Or maybe nothing at all? Reception Skills are here to walk you through everything you need to do to impress any and all visitors.
 
Listening & Interpersonal Skills 
Great receptionists require a lot more in their skill set than just technical skills. 
 
Speech and Expression
Here is where we will look at a variety of important topics such as grammar, elocution, voice inflection, breathing and the tone and pitch of your voice.  Mastering speech and expression will ensure you are grasping the very basics in reception or customer service. This module combines practical exercises enabling you to develop these key skills.
 
Note Taking 
Noteworthy receptionists always take notes. Unless you can cram every detail of every message in your noggin, you'll find note-taking will make a notable improvement to your workplace competency.
 
Take a Look Around 
When considering your reception area, use all of your senses – your visitor sure will. Making sure your reception area is welcoming sounds like common sense, but it can be less common than you think.
 
Spell It Out 
S-P-E-L-L it out! Waiting visitors always prefer to know what's coming next. It's not a secret you want to impress them, so don't keep the process from them.
 
Handling Phone Calls 
Receptionists have to deal with phone calls a lot. The very best of receptionists balance being both a phone call usher and bouncer at the same time.
 
Be The Expert 
A receptionist's job is to ensure the overall smooth running of the organisation and the best way to do that is by making sure you are an expert on as much as possible.
 
Managing Behavior
Managing behaviours when on reception consists of when you are faced with various characteristics of the caller. A professional receptionist comes across various personalities. Having the professional tools to defuse a potential dispute or troubleshoot a problem, whilst maintaining your composure, will be noticed by all around you.  This skill plays an important role in this profession.
 
Goodbye 
So long, farewell, au revoir… saying goodbye is the last opportunity you'll have to make an immediate and lasting impression on your visitor. So don't kiss this golden opportunity goodbye, make the most of it!
