Jobs

If you’ve ever worked in customer service, you know this story.

It’s 8:15 a.m., you haven’t had your coffee, and a customer is already on the line — ready to tell you how your company “ruined their life” because a delivery was delayed by seven minutes.

You take a deep breath, summon your best polite voice, and think:
“There has to be a better way to handle this.”

And yes, there is — it’s called training.

The Monday Morning That Changed Everything

Take Naomi, for example.
When she joined a logistics company in Nairobi, she dreaded Mondays. The customer calls were endless, the complaints harsh, and her patience thinner than the company Wi-Fi at 5 p.m.

One day, after yet another tense call, her manager sent her for Customer Service Excellence Training through Kizuna Edge Talent Hub (KETH Africa).

She almost didn’t go. (“Another workshop with PowerPoint slides and role-play? No thanks.”)
But halfway through the session, she had her “aha” moment.

She learned how to use empathy-driven communication — not just apologizing to customers, but connecting with them.
She practiced active listening and the “positive framing” technique: replacing “We can’t do that today” with “Here’s what we can do for you right now.”

The next Monday, a furious client called — the kind who starts a conversation with,“Do you people even care about your customers?”

Naomi applied her new skills. She stayed calm, acknowledged the frustration, and guided the client to a resolution in under five minutes.The customer ended the call saying,“You’ve really changed how I see this company. Thank you.”

That same month, Naomi was promoted to Customer Experience Lead.

She later told us,“It wasn’t magic. It was training — I finally knew how to turn tension into trust.”

Customer service training isn’t about memorizing phrases — it’s about mastering emotional intelligence and strategic communication.

In fact, according to a global study by Deloitte, over 70% of employers say soft skills like empathy, adaptability, and communication are now more important than technical qualifications.

These are the skills that land you jobs you didn’t even know you were qualified for.

We’ve seen call center agents become relationship managers, and receptionists transition into corporate communications officers — all because they learned to communicate with impact, handle conflict gracefully, and lead with emotional awareness.

Is your team truly connecting with your customers — or just responding to them?Let’s change that.
