“Customers are always right” – this saying is familiar to everyone, especially those in customer service. As a Call Center QC, you are like a “warrior” on the front lines of customer retention. So, what are your “weapons”? To “win” and turn potential customers into loyal fans, what skills do you need? Let’s explore the secrets of Call Center “warriors” with SOFT SKILLS!
1. Communication Skills – The Secret to “Captivating” Customers
1.1 Active Listening – “Know the Customer’s Heart, Know Your Own”
“Listening is the first skill for success,” says soft skills training expert, Mr. Nguyen Van A, affirming the importance of listening skills. You need to listen to understand the needs and desires of customers, thereby providing appropriate solutions. Imagine you are buying a new shirt, but the salesperson only focuses on introducing products without listening to what you want. Would you feel comfortable and want to buy it?
1.2 Engaging Speaking – “Beautiful Words, Meaningful Ideas”
“Speak less, but hit the customer’s heart” – this proverb reminds you to focus on conveying clear, concise, and engaging messages. Use professional, easy-to-understand language, avoiding slang, jargon, and negative statements. Remember, “customers like to hear good things, not unpleasant ones.”
1.3 Creating Friendliness – “Kindness Above All”
“Smiling without smiling, speaking without speaking” – this idiom reminds you to maintain a polite and respectful attitude towards customers. A cheerful, positive voice and gentle, approachable gestures will create a good impression. Imagine you are calling a company, and the staff is cold and unfriendly. Would you want to continue the call?
2. Problem-Solving Skills – “Solving Problems Like Solving a Math Problem”
2.1 Staying Calm – “Peace Can Prevail in All Matters”
“Anger is like fire, and the customer’s anger is like a raging fire.” Stay calm in all situations, no matter what the customer says. Believe that whatever the customer says is for their own good. Think like psychologist Nguyen Van B, “behind a customer’s anger are hidden worries.”
2.2 Using Non-Violent Communication – “Conquering Aggression with Gentleness”
“Wisdom always wins over anger” – this proverb reminds you to use gentle, respectful language, avoiding arguments or contradicting customers. Remember, “the customer is always right” and understand their difficulties.
3. Professional Skills – “Professional Consulting”
3.1 Mastering Knowledge – “Understanding the Industry”
“Without professional knowledge, it’s like a fish without water” – this saying reminds you to master knowledge about the company’s products and services. Always update the latest information, and understand all the company’s promotions and policies. Remember, “customers always appreciate professionalism.”
3.2 Using Support Tools – “Support Tools Are Your Right Hand”
“Support tools are like “keys” to open the door to success.” Utilize support tools such as CRM, telephone systems, and email to improve work efficiency. Learn and master these tools to “conquer” customers.
4. Mental Skills – “Peace of Mind Leads to Good Work”
4.1 Mental Serenity – “Inner Peace and Freedom”
“A calm mind is like clear water, a chaotic mind is like muddy water.” Keep yourself mentally calm in all situations, avoid letting emotions control your words and actions. Remember, “a calm mind will help you think clearly and make accurate decisions.”
4.2 Belief – “Belief is a Powerful Force”
“Belief is the light that guides the way to success.” Believe in yourself, believe in your work, and believe in the company’s products and services. Believe that “belief will help you overcome all difficulties and succeed in your career.”

“Mistakes are golden lessons for success.” Be self-aware and reflect on your weaknesses, thereby building a plan to improve yourself. Believe that “no one is perfect, only those who constantly strive to improve themselves.”
5.2 Continuous Learning – “Learning is the Key to Success”
“It’s never too late to learn.” Always seek new knowledge, cultivate soft skills, especially communication, problem-solving, and professional skills. Participate in courses, workshops, read books, and find information on the internet to improve your skills.
