The Corporate Receptionist [2 Days]

You only have one chance to make an impression. It doesn’t matter if your organisation is large or small, for a client your company comes down to the professionalism received and image at the front desk.

They will understand the importance of communicating in a corporate and courteous manner to both internal and external customers.
