Dear Ms. Anchor,

Thank you for considering me to propose a one-day workshop on anger management for the customer service associates at your department store. I understand the challenges that your associates face when dealing with angry and verbally abusive customers, and I am confident that this workshop will provide them with the necessary skills to handle these situations effectively.

The workshop will cover important topics such as recognizing an angry customer, maintaining composure, and depersonalizing the situation. These are essential skills for customer service associates to have in order to provide excellent service even in difficult situations.

The training methods will include lectures by a consultant as well as role-playing exercises by the trainees. All training materials will be supplied by the consultant, ensuring that the workshop is comprehensive and effective.

The proposed time for the workshop is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with short breaks at 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., and a lunch break from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. The specific day for the workshop can be agreed upon by you and the client, and the location will be at your training center for convenience.

The cost for the workshop, including all materials supplied by the consultant, is $900. This investment will provide valuable training for your customer service associates and ultimately improve the overall customer experience at your department store.

I am confident that this workshop will be beneficial for your associates and will contribute to a more positive and effective customer service experience. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your team.

Sincerely,
