THE OUTSTANDING RECEPTIONIST & ADMINISTRATION ASSISTANT SEMINAR, 22^ND-23^RD MAY 2025 AT THE SAROVA STANLEY HOTEL, NAIROBI, KENYA

Customer service is not a department, it’s everyone’s job.

You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and yours may be in the hands of your receptionist.

I earnestly invite your organisation to The Outstanding Receptionist Training Seminar.

The role of the modern reception manager is expanding. As well as performing general reception duties, they are increasingly
expected to undertake a wider range of other tasks to better support the organization. 

In just the first few minutes of interaction with a customer or visitor, the reception manager sets the tone for the company.
As a matter of fact, the modern reception manager serves as a crucial central coordination point for the organization and
their contacts with clients, suppliers, customers etc. 

On top of front desk operations, the effective reception manager recognizes that an on-going knowledge of the business and
a pro-active approach to providing customer service to both the internal and external customers are crucial.

Learn how to polish your image, perfect your telephone skills, and increase your value to your organization in this receptionist training seminar.
