How people behave when dealing with customers or colleagues can determine the success or failure of each interaction.

In this spoof detective case, a customer is driven to distraction by the careless behaviour of staff at the doctor's, at the shoe shop, in the post office and at the station. In a series of engaging, amusing and realistic scenarios, the detective must piece together the customer's movements to see how the behaviour of several suspects led to his demise.

Three key pieces of evidence result from his enquiries:

-Behaviour breeds behaviour

-Behaviour is a choice

-Behaviour can be used to help a transaction.

This light-hearted programme, written by behavioural expert Dr Peter Honey, raises some simple but key issues, and expresses them in a professional, down-to-earth manner. Staff of any level, across a range of industries, will learn from this programme how to deal with customers by being professional and choosing their behaviour. Personal problems and prejudices should be hidden, and customers should be welcomed and put at their ease.
