TaxMasters Launches Advanced Employee Training Program

HOUSTON, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- TaxMasters, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TAXS), the IRS tax relief company and a leading provider of tax representation services, is increasing its commitment to the highest quality of customer service by inaugurating TMU, an ongoing comprehensive, customized internal training program.

A couple of years ago, TaxMasters recognized that it had the opportunity to create an in-house program designed to keep its employees educated about the ever-changing complexities of the tax code. TMU, second to none in the tax representation industry, is designed to continuously improve customer service, process efficiency and professional development to keep pace with changes at the IRS and in the tax representation industry.

"Our company is constantly evolving to stay a step ahead of the countless tax code changes and revisions that challenge taxpayers, who are striving to stay compliant with the IRS," said Renee Miller, vice president of tax services at TaxMasters. "TaxMasters U represents our commitment to giving our professionals the best continuing education, from customer service training to specific courses for our collections alternatives personnel and ongoing education credits for our licensed professionals."

While TMU offers general customer service and job-specific training for new employees, it goes beyond the basics to identify inefficiencies and customer needs through intelligent reporting and then adapts to provide ongoing training to even the most experienced employees. The result is an atmosphere of continuous learning with increased customer satisfaction and process efficiency.

More than just trainers, the TMU expert team, made up of tax specialists and customer service professionals, is tasked with continuous review of procedures for customer service representatives, collections alternatives personnel and tax preparers. This review process identifies growth opportunities for individual employee as well as whole teams.
