“ During the last couple of weeks we have been logging the type of queries and question that they receive. The relevant documents are on Ikhaya and the Toolkit has been tailored to ensure that you have the information available to answer your customers queries. Also available in the toolkit are the questions you need to ask to determine your customers requirements – once you have accurately determined the need, you can use the documents showing the ranges, the competitor comparisons, the pricelist and availability schedule to recommend the products that will fit your customers requirement. You are now empowered to service your customer without having to make them wait for you to source the information! “
