Details
ithout leadership there is no organisation, as leadership is at the core of every enterprise. Every subject, each development, any organisation goes through the following phases conforming to the structure of our training
- open up and develop ideas
- promote novelties and make decisions
- organise (for the first time)
- implement (serial production) and evaluate
- adjust, bidding farewell and letting go
In each of these phases, leadership is required on three different levels:
- self-management
- management of others
- management of systems or organisations
This is what we prepare your executives for.

Implementing a TtT programme was a new and much discussed idea. Now, after the basic course has taken place, the unanimous view – and even the sceptics agree – is, that it was worth every minute. New ideas; a different approach; training can be fun. And so it should. Our thanks to indigu. We hope for many years of cooperation!

Customer Care Experience – Sales Training for Experts with Customer Contact
training designed for you – flexible, target-group oriented, pragmatic und fit for implementation.
You never wanted to become a sales-person but repeatedly have customer-contact?
You want your guests to leave the house full of good impressions. You want your visitors to be satisfied. – indigu will teach you how to organise minor and major customer experiences.
The Programme
Aims
e support you in perfectly preparing your employees, so that visits of customers, phone calls, business meals, audits and the exchange between experts are carried out not just satisfactorily, but successfully, and in a memorably pleasing way. Positive customer experiences lead to long-term successful business relationships. Customers who are justifiably comfortable with your employees will gladly and with increased confidence revert to products and services from your company.
You deservedly want customers who feel well looked after by your employees.
Target group
our employees and managers form areas like technical department, purchasing, maintenance who are not constantly in the frontline of sales, but who occasionally have meetings with customers in which they need to convey a professional impression of your company. The programme Customer Care Experience provides them with a succinct training to successfully organise their customer contacts.
People who increasingly will have points of contact with important customers.
Details
he following subjects are trained using systemic models, practical exercises, simulated conversations, and case studies from your company:
Preparing a customer visit
Becoming familiar with various kinds of people (without making judgements). What is my own personality-type? How do I come across to other people? What is the typology of my customers? What do they expect from me? What are the various patterns? How can they complement each other? What kind of experience does my customer wish for or what should he get? What kind of impressions should the visit make? What should never ever happen?
Demeanour in customer contact
A good first impression creates a positive prevailing mood. What are the components of the first impression? how do clothing and body-language work?
Correct small-talk
The art of an open-minded conversation – without using platitudes – is a great, if not necessary introduction to important negotiations.
Attitude as a host
What does it mean to receive a customer at your company? How do you develop an honest and welcoming attitude as a host?
Confident communication
Your staff will learn how to expertly steer challenging conversational situations and meet customer expectations in a solution-oriented way without losing track of their own targets and limits.
Intercultural cooperation
Recognise differences and similarities and handle them professionally: What must be paid special attention to in the various countries of customers? How are customs different – totally obviously or indeed very subtly? National etiquette – the dos and don’ts in international cooperation.
Developing ownership
Representing the company purposefully. Taking responsibility and doing justice to the interests of the product, of the own company and of the customer.
Customer References
Coming from a technical or scientific background straight from university or other tertiary institutions and then all of a sudden having to work with customers from diverse cultural backgrounds, trying to master complex customer service projects, can be quite challenging for some. This makes it all the more important that all team-members in a customer-oriented project as well as in other situations not only have a clear understanding of the term ‘service’ and most importantly embody it. This is exactly what Martina Fahrnberger is honing, in her excellent seminar – great content and even I have learnt something new again.

Coaching – Individual tutoring of executives and high-potentials
“coaching designed for you – we support go-getters and those aspiring to become such
What is coaching? And most importantly, what is it for?!
Jointly – at times quite humorously – taking a view from a different angle onto the minor and major challenges of the professional daily life. – To clear the head and recognise new chances and avenues.
Coaching Services
Aims
oaching can be understood as solution oriented mentoring and support with the intention to enhance the ability of self-regulation.
Topics or issues from the workplace such as:
- Initial vocational guidance or occupational re-orientation.
- Career start and switch
- Professional advancement
- Development coaching using diagnostic tools such as INSIGHTS-MDI® or 360 Degree Feedback
- Assumption of new responsibilities (management duties, project assignments,…)
- Conflicts within teams
- Burn-out prevention
- Decision-making
- All kinds of change processes
- intra- and inter-personal disagreements
- Enhancement of innovative capabilities
- Reconcilability of functions in occupational position, professional environment and personal surroundings
- ….
Target group
ur coaching services are targeted towards people with a need for change or problem solving. Especially those persons, whose primary concern is related to a professional issue. Successful coaching is only possible through an unbiassed perspective towards the topic, problem or concern of the customer; it is thus not necessary to be an expert as regards content which means that no professional or industry group is necessarily excluded.
Due to our own professional careers we have stronger links to mid-size and large companies and corporations, but we also enjoy working with managers and staff from SMEs or independents.
Details
The classic dialogue on par sets the scene of a coaching lesson. This means respecting and acknowledging the coachee, his living environment and his problem-solving strategies. Various interventions are embedded in this conversation: scaling, questions about exemptions, circular questions, reframing, change of perspective, offers of innovation and intuition, and methods of systemic counselling, coaching and constellation work.
The method that will eventually be applied depends entirely on the respective situation: It will be a combination of intuition and experience. We usually introduce the suggested method and the customer decides whether it appears to be suitable. Movement causes the process to get moving: There is more to a process than just sitting and talking which we like to cause our clients to get physically active. A little change of scenery – a new perspective: and suddenly previously invisible options become apparent!
Additional offers: Tools for personality diagnostics: INSIGHTS-MDI® www.insights.at or 360 Degree-Feedback, mostly however not during individual coaching but embedded into an already existing process in the company.
We usually agree on between 5 and 10 units, depending on circumstances and relevant topics. Of course we are happy to also offer a single session. A unit usually takes around 60 minutes. Depending on the wishes of the customers we usually work through between 1.5 and 3 units per session. Coaching-sessions are usually one on one. One customer, one coach. We do however often recommend the luxury-option of two coaches and one or more coachees. We can also offer coaching with reflecting teams.
Last but not least – Customer satisfaction is absolutely paramount here as well. In order to avoid landing where basically no one wanted to go, we make sure to agree on targets and the ways to get there.

Thanks for the flexible evening session which I once again found very helpful and constructive.
