Staff share their experience

Unified Petroleum Price Fund (UPPF) Manager at XpressGas, Esther Parden, said the customer service training has helped her to understand customers better: “I have learnt to reposition myself to meet the customer’s needs. To address promptly the challenges I face in serving the customer, and to find value in conflicts, by talking to people about an issue rather than talking about people.”

Kwesi Nketsia-Tabiri from the XpressGas Swap’N’Go team, a door to door gas delivery service, shared his experience from the training: “The training has empowered me to effectively discharge my duties. I have learnt to put the customer first and to have an open mind. I have also learnt that tagging others as difficult means I myself am difficult.”

Acting Head of Business Development, Ms. Jessica Foli also shared her experience, saying “the training has equipped me to better understand the needs and expectations of customers. I have learnt to be a customer-centric person and I have also learnt a lot about telephone etiquette.”
