Introduction
The book you are holding in your hands, Communication & Customer Service,
is a clear and updated text that highlights the practical issues of business
communication in order to provide you with the skills required for this module
of the Advanced Vocational Training Course in Administration and Finance or in
Managing Assistance you are studying.
When dealing with such a broad and diverse subject, the aim of being extremely
exhaustive might lead to inefficiency and confusion. Therefore, this text tries to
escape from dogma and impositions. Our goal is to develop every aspect of the
curriculum, but also to provide open alternative solutions to the problems in
business communication. Specifically, this trend is expressed in the type of activities that are included throughout the book. Along with the most common
activities for the settlement and testing of the knowledge gained by students,
we include others that are more open and participatory, consistent with the
characteristics of this subject and supported by text and web references.
In addition, we want to make the development of these activities easier for
students and teachers, and for this purpose we provide some patterns that,
within a flexible framework, will guide the process of solving problems.
Accessibility is another major advantage of this book. Along with a clear and direct
language, we have included multiple resources such as diagrams, graphs, tables
and images that allow a simple and flexible interpretation of the content. We have
also carried out a careful selection of documentary sources and references to web
pages.
In short, this text is designed as a practical introduction to a very large area by
means of direct and simple language and supporting examples, problems and real
documents that students will encounter in their future working life. These
supporting materials will complement teaching performance by suggesting
potential ways to expand the knowledge of students about this exciting subject:
business communication.

A. Stages of development
O`]f\]n]dghaf_l`]gjYde]kkY_]$o][Yfa\]fla^qk]n]jYdconsecutive stages:
Situation analysis: What is the purpose of communication? Why is it necessary? What
is the audience of the message? How can I communicate effectively in that situation?
Plan
the speech
Prepare the topic: information, specific language, etc.
Avoid repetition of ideas
Make a draft (Fig. 5.1) of what is going to be explained, as it has the following
advantages:
Eliminate confusion
Organize the required support or complementary material: the draft itself, notes,
outlines, audiovisual presentations, etc.
Allow a clear expression:
structuring ideas
91
5
Oral communication
Formulate or
structure the
message
Make a brief and appealing introduction to arouse interest of the listeners,
which may include a summary of the topics. It can be used to define or clarify new
or unfamiliar terms that will be used.
The exposition itself
Conclusion or summary of the basic ideas
Simplify sentence structure
Avoid all noise words
Speak accurately
Do not use routine expressions and formulas
Avoid fillers, pauses and repetitions
Self-correction
Clarify and refine the meaning of what is meant
Speak clearly
Repeat and summarize the most important ideas
Restate what has been said if it was not clear
Customize the message to the receiver or receivers
and use a vocabulary that is known to them
Transmit the
message
Search for appropriate topics for each situation
Start or suggest a topic
Develop a topic
Handle the topic
in a dialogue
End a conversation
Lead the conversation to a new topic
Diverting or avoiding a conversation topic
Relate a new topic with an old topic
Use the time to
say everything
that is deemed
necessary
State that we want to intervene (with gestures, sentences)
Choose the right time to intervene
Interact with other
interlocutors
Effective use of the right to speak
Notice when an interlocutor wants to speak
Give the right to speak to an interlocutor at the right time
Stick to the
conventions
of the type of
speech
(subject,
structure, etc.)
Control voice: intonation, volume, pitches, tone
Non-verbal aspects
Use appropriate non-verbal codes: gestures and movements
Control the look: addressed to interlocutors
Receive feedback
Mark the beginning and end of
the speech
As we saw in Unit 2, feedback is essential for effective
communication to exist

Esta estriba en que la cantidad de tarros de mermelada que figura en
el albarán es de trescientos -300-, mientras que la cantidad realmente recibida es de doscientos cincuenta-250-.

Con el fin de analizar la conveniencia
de renovar el parque de vehículos de
la empresa URGENTEX, S. A., se ha
solicitado al Dpto. de Logística información sobre la situación actual de
los vehículos. Los datos solicitados
de cada vehículo han sido: antigüedad, estado, kilometraje actual y número de averías que ha sufrido en el
último año (Ver Anexo I).
Solicitado por:
Luis Roce Gutiérrez
Director de URGENTEX, S. A.

INFORME SOBRE LA RENOVACIÓN
DEL PARQUE DE VEHÍCULOS
Una vez recopilados todos los datos,
se ha procedido a elaborar un estudio del conjunto del parque del que se
obtiene el resultado siguiente:
- El parque actual está compuesto por
cinco furgonetas y siete motocicletas.
- La edad media de los vehículos es
de 6,8 años.
- El estado general de los vehículos
es aceptable, pero se ha detectado
un aumento preocupante en el número de averías durante el último año
que ha supuesto un coste de 23 873 €
en reparaciones.
- Las averías suponen retrasos en los
envíos y por tanto, pérdidas económicas y de imagen para la empresa.

Por otro lado, se ha analizado si es
más ventajoso que la empresa adquiera los vehículos o que realice un
contrato de renting.

ANEXO
CONCLUSIÓN
- Es necesaria la renovación del parque de vehículos.
- Dicha renovación debe iniciarse de
inmediato para los vehículos con más
de cinco años de antigüedad y completarse en un plazo máximo de dos años.
- Debido a que adquirir todos los vehículos supone una gran inversión y
que los costes en reparaciones están siendo muy elevados, sería más
rentable para URGENTEX, S. A. contratar el uso de los vehículos con una
empresa de renting, que se encargase de su mantenimiento.
- El coste de contratar con una empresa de renting oscila, según los
presupuestos consultados, entre
los 16 000€ y los 19 000€ anuales.

Summar y
Set of mechanisms and tasks that the organization uses, once the sale is done,
to achieve total customer satisfaction so that the customer wants to buy again,
to recommend the brand or product, and so on.
After-sales service
Types of after-sales
services
Promotional/Psychological/Security/Maintenance.
Technical services
for products
Installation/Maintenance/Repair.
Services for customers
Training for use/Handling of complaints and claims.
Life cycle stages of the product or service: Introduction Æ Growth Æ Maturity Æ Decline
Relationship with
the product life cycle
The after-sales service as a
competitive strategy
Introduction: after-sales service to make consumers feel secured.
Growth: after-sales service that differentiates us from our
competitors and that is aimed at making the customer buy again.
Maturity: satisfactory after-sales service for customers.
Decline: the after-sales service should try to replace customers’
products for more modern models with better features.
Plan
1. Define the characteristics of after-sales service.
2. Define indicators to assess performance
and levels to be achieved.
3. Design the process for the performance of each service.
4. Define the necessary resources.
5. Define the organizational structure.
Implement
Perform everything that has been planned: training staff, acquiring
the necessary resources, implementing the procedure, etc.
Control
It must be performed on both the after-sales service process and
its results, which means: measuring the actual system performance, comparing actual performance to planned performance,
and acting accordingly, that is, adopting corrective measures.
Improve
After reaching the planned levels, we must draw more ambitious
goals that lead to a greater degree of perfection and high
quality products.
Quality management
and after-sales service
After-sales services can be developed internally or externally.
Customer service
The customer must be able to contact
the supplier or manufacturer easily.
Technical support
The company must have experts who know perfectly
the product or service provided.
Others
Transportation, storage, incident tracking.
