The crowd would be divided into 2 groups, who would be standing on the either sides of the hall. Candidates standing on one side would be given the Grocery list which all will have to read out loudly and inform their partners. The partner standing on the other side will have to listen only to his partner and write the list. In this process there will be lot of noise and confusion created .That’s what the candidates have to understand later when they see why the list called out is not the same .There mind is diverted because of too many things being told at one time.
The man is the messenger The phone is the medium The paper is the message Participants may ask questions on what a medium is etc… Advise them that everything will be covered in the course of this training workshop. The Trainer may choose to give a 10-15 minute break here.
Picture this: Group discussion: Objective: To get different reactions from this from everyone. Submissive, assertive, aggressive. Time : 15-20 minutes Description Let's say it's 5 pm on a Friday and you are hurriedly collecting your bag to go home, as you have big plans for the weekend. Suddenly, your boss asks you to report to work on Saturday morning, his wife is out of town so he is scheduling work this weekend so that He is free next weekend. What will you do? Discuss Ask the participants what styles of communication they have identified?? Nature of each style : harsh; rude; meek; sensible etc
The Sandwich technique Equipment: Paper and pen; loaf of bread; bottle of Jam; butter; knife; cutting board; spoon; plate; All the ingredients will be kept hidden in a box. Objective: Group members learn the importance of detail preparation. If the correct preparation method is not made, the “subordinate” will be unable to make the perfect sandwich. Time: 1 hour Description Have each participant write a step by step description of how to make a jam sandwich. Give the following instructions, “write down everything that someone has to do to make a jam sandwich from start to finish. Include everything from the time you take the needed ingredients out of the cupboard/fridge, to the time you eat the sandwich. The purpose is to teach someone who has never made a sandwich.” After the participant’s have finished writing within 5-10 minutes; without talking; ask for two volunteers to do a demonstration in front of the group. Put the box of ingredients on the table All the items may or may not be used depending on how the instructions were written. Ask one member to demonstrate while the second participant (with his/her back turned to the partner) reads his/her directions for making a sandwich one step at a time. The participant who is demonstrating should only tell the reader when one step is over and to proceed to the next step. The participant who is demonstrating should not do or say anything that is not written in the directions. He/she should simply blindly follow the directions. For example: if NO instructions were given to take the bread slices out of the plastic wrapper the participant who is demonstrating may just put the butter/jam on the outside of the bread packet !! If the instructions is to put jam on the bread, but no mention of using a knife is made; the demonstrator may put the jam using his/her finger only. NOTE: before starting the activity the demonstrator should be informed to do EXACTLY what is told to him/her. To simply follow instructions and not make any assumptions of his/her own. When the demonstration is complete; have the group discuss what if anything was left out. Make a point that in talk or demonstration; it is important to cover information in a logical sequence, present steps in a proper order and be complete. It is always important to be prepared; have your questions ready; ensure that your data is complete.
Lesson: Never never assume. Always ask. A young executive was leaving the office at 6pm when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder machine with a piece of paper in his hand. “ Listen” said the CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important document and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?” “ Certainly. Certainly Sir”, said the eager young executive. He turned the machine on and inserted the paper and pressed the start button. “ Excellent excellent!!”, said the CEO as the paper disappeared inside the machine. “I just need one copy”. !! 5-10 mins
The need to say “No” at times: A store manager overheard a clerk saying to a customer,” No Ma’am, we haven’t had any for some weeks now and it doesn’t look as it we’ll be getting any soon”. Alarmed by what was being said , the manager rushed over to the customer who was walking out of the door and said, "That isn’t true ma’am. Of course we’ll have some soon. In fact, we placed an order for it a couple of weeks ago.” The Manager drew the clerk aside and growled," Never, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER say No we don’t have something. If we don’t have it, say we ordered it and its on its way. Now, what was it she wanted?” “ Rain !!”, came the simple reply. 5-10 mins
Keep it brief. As US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt said to his key staff, A good speaker will be brief be bright ... be gone! Keep your language simple. Customers may only require the facts rather than a complete history of events. Use familiar everyday words. Straightforward speech is an asset when talking about complex subjects. Simple familiar language is most important when discussing technical information with non-technical people. Avoid slang, jargon, or ‘techno speak’. What is commonplace language to you may be unknown to your customers. Avoid language that is vague or too general. Vague, tentative language can produce misunderstanding, frustration, and errors. Slang or profanity is neither correct nor effective when speaking to a customer. If the opportunity is there, plan your conversation . Each customer will have a certain knowledge level or experience level. They may understand the industry we work in. They may even have a certain social standing. Formulate your questions based on any information you have. Delivering a planned conversation to a level that will be understood will reflect a professional image by you to the customer. 5-10 mins
6. If you have the time, ask someone in your office if they happen to know who can help the caller. If you do not have the time or can't find the answer, say "Unfortunately, I am not sure who can help you with this problem . Let me transfer you to the operator and they may be able to assist you." Try to find out the answer to these frequently asked questions (or figure out which department's number is similar to your own). Wouldn't you like the Sales Department to transfer you to the Service Department if you incorrectly dialed their number? 7. Before transferring them, be sure you understand what the caller wants . Repeat what they said back to them. "Let me be sure that I understand your situation. You requested a transcript and would like to know if it has been sent. Is that correct?" This gives the caller a chance to clarify his/her situation. You may receive many calls about the same issue, but treat each caller as an individual and don't jump to conclusions. Sometimes accidents happen, but be mindful especially during high volume times . In order to transfer, first tell the caller where you are transferring them. Second, press the Xfer button. Dial the extension where you are transferring the call. Press the Xfer button again. 5 -7 mins

Shyness using legs Disgust using arms Anger using fingers Enthusiasm using eyes Happiness using whole body Nervousness using face
Ask volunteers to come and demonstrate each type of handshake Time: 10 minutes The Limp Fish : whole hand comes forward – but no strength The Wrestler : whole hand comes forward – too much strength The Cup : hand is in the shape of a “C” allowing the other person to extend their fingers The Finger toucher : one person limply touches the other person’s outstretched hand The Cling-on : once they get hold of your arm they do not let go The Oh-too-personal: While shaking your hand with the right arm they hold on to you with their left arm. The proper handshake :
