The fortunes of any business rise and fall based upon the level of service it delivers to its customers. Considering the importance of quality customer service, the Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce is offering a humorous, DVD-based training workshop called “The Guest” for members. This workshop, to be held on February 15, will illustrate just how easy it is to offer amazing customer service when choosing to treat a customer as a guest in the home.

Chamber president, Laurie S. Moran, will present the workshop. The lunch buffet and hands-on training will take place on Wednesday, February 15, from Noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Institute for Advanced Learning & Research. Registration is $20 per person and includes lunch. Seating is limited; please register by contacting the Chamber office at (434) 836-6990 or chamber@dpchamber.org.

No matter how large or complex an organization may be, great service usually comes down to one employee, serving one guest, one day at a time. This DVD-based training combined with hands-on application of the principles will leave employees ready to care for customers and co-workers graciously, politely, and effectively.

The Neighborhood Leadership Institute provides training in leadership,communication, strategic planning, and other topics of value to community members. Using the Innovative Leadership:  Building Community Connections program developed by Virginia Cooperative Extension, this leadership training is open to all citizens of the region. For the 2012 class, there is no tuition fee with all program expenses paid through a grant funded by United Way of Danville - Pittsylvania County.

“Growing” Opportunities for Economic and Community Development
