Soft skills and salesCustomer de-escalation
VR training module
Stay calm when the customer isn’t.
Frontline staff face a customer who is angry about a real problem. They practice listening, apologizing, and solving it, and see the customer calm down or get angrier depending on what they say.
- Every action, decision, and word recorded and analyzed
- Runs on Meta Quest headsets, managed from the Bubbler Hub
