Really impressed with both the content coverage and the quality of the advice in this course. Vica really knows what she's talking about in customer service. If you're running a customer service team or your job involves interfacing with customers, she presents a great set of tools for you to use. Highly recommended. I took a lot of notes during this course and I plan on re-watching it later down the line
