"First-Class Telephone Skills" is an AMI-approved course that teaches individuals to be more effective in their telephone communication skills as well as serving customers in a more professional and successful manner. "On average, a person will spend 12 months of their life on the telephone. That's 8,760 hours," said Seyfer. During the interactive and engaging session, Seyfer paired staff members and had them role play different customer service scenarios. Seyfer's class also covered other tips and how-tos such as answering calls, taking messages, voice mail basics and greetings and calming angry members on the phone. Seyfer is the wife of Don Seyfer, AAM, former chairman of ASA and owner of Seyfer's Automotive in Wheat Ridge, Colo.
