Although companies do usually train Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) initially, technology changes and certain best practices are further developed in a company, prompting refresher courses and retraining or additional training that may be necessary. Since training can be expensive for companies to conduct between CSRs having to be taken out of the office, and training facilitators, facilities etc., companies want to know that their investment in their training of the CSRs has been effective and cost efficient.

The skills and competencies of CSRs are myriad and are helpful in communicating in your personal and professional life. Developing customer service skills can also help you in interviews and on the job no matter what department or functional area you work in.
