How well do you meet the challenges of providing service within your organization? Internal service providers have a bond with their customers that external vendors simply do not share; they need to judge their behavior by a new standard.

Unlike any other assessment on the market today, the Internal Customer Service Assessment illustrates the real differences between internal and external service. This 30-item assessment is designed to help internal service providers evaluate how well they practice the behaviors that constitute excellent internal service and then assist them through action planning to improve those behaviors.

The Internal Customer Service Assessment illustrates the real differences between internal and external service and is designed to help internal service providers evaluate how well they are practicing the behaviors that constitute excellent internal service.

The assessment presents 30 statements about customer service. Individuals transfer their assessment scores to a chart, creating an internal customer service profile. This visual profile depicts strengths and areas of improvement in each of the six dimensions of internal service. The participant guide provides for both individual and group action planning and discussion.

The Internal Customer Service Assessment is based on relevant internal service literature and consulting experience. At the center of the assessment, the internal customer service model combines both aspects of the internal service provider's job. The model illustrates the dual focus on what is happening both inside and outside the organization.

By the end of this assessment, participants will:

• Evaluate how well an individual meets the challenges of providing service within the organization.
• Learn which behaviors are effective in improving internal service.
• Develop personal accountability within your company using this accountability training workshop.
  

The Internal Customer Service Assessment can be used in formalized training sessions or in informal group discussions. Use the assessment as:
