Daniel Ord

It was great to link all the elements of CX together. A clear path of which CX muscle to flex to deliver an outcome. Comprehensive, refreshing, engaging and great for those with years of experience or just new on the scene. You will learn something!

The Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course offers a comprehensive and practical overview of the essential principles required to effectively manage a contact centre. Covering core metrics and operational strategies, the course is well-suited for both new and experienced managers overseeing small or large teams.

A standout feature of the course was the facilitation by Daniel, whose engaging style and inclusive approach fostered open communication and active participation among all attendees. His ability to encourage dialogue and share real-world insights made the learning experience both dynamic and relatable.

Whether you’re stepping into a contact centre leadership role or looking to refine your management approach, this course provides valuable tools and frameworks to support performance, engagement, and service excellence. Highly recommended for professionals seeking to strengthen their foundational knowledge and drive impactful results.

Daniel has made the 4 x half days fly very quickly, even through online delivery. The course was very engaging and informative. He has made the big beast of CX management not so scary and gave practical examples of where to start. The big takeaway for me is how all the many “big” aspects tie together, and that we don’t need to know all of it to get our CX journey going. Thank you Daniel and Marcus!

This course was helpful in breaking down how to build a quality contact centre QA framework, and has challenged my thinking of what we had already established. I particularly found the segment around the Service Vision was the most interesting for me.

Daniel was an amazing facilitator, making the space feel safe to contribute thoughts and ideas.

Daniel was fantastic! The course gave me a fresh perspective of how to deal with difficult interactions with customers as well as different techniques when having those tough conversations. I highly recommend this course!

Daniel did an excellent job sharing tips and tricks for handling conversations with difficult customers. I will definitely use the tools he provided! Thank you Daniel & Marcus

Daniel’s course was a very pleasant experience. His friendly and open approach creates wholesome environments where all participants can engage and ask questions. His course material is also easy to understand, easy to remember, insightful and helpful.

You can really see how applicable his course material is to your work and how teaching this course has evolved based on the feedback he has received while teaching it.

Daniel was a terrific trainer, he was extremely engaging and encouraging to all participants. The content was great and provided myself and my colleagues a lot of clarity around how to improve our quality process. I definitely recommend this course for anyone looking to expand and/or improve their quality assurance procedures.

Really enjoyed this course! Designed well so that it fits with a busy work schedule.

Great content, delivery and knowledge from Daniel and interesting discussions with the group.

I found this course really valuable and have been able to implement and test some thinking and ideas immediately.

I found this course to be very engaging, Daniel does a wonderful job of keeping it interesting and honestly the time just flew. Whilst I work in the CX Field every day, this course challenges your thinking in the field of Customer Experience (CX) and have given me some fresh perspecitives.

It is not a tick the box type of course, it is very worthwhile with genuine learnings. I would highly recommend to any either starting their journey or well into their CX journey

Daniel is a passionate and very knowledgeable CX expert who was very engaging throughout the whole course. Relevant course content and thought-provoking activities to learn through discussion. Definitely recommend this training!

Well, it was an amazing 4 days! I have learnt so much from the program and key concepts have given me a-ha moments. Customers are the lifeline to any business and it is not only the responsibility of the Customer Service teams.

This program is WOW. W for Winning [rich, structured and meaningful content – world class], O for Outstanding [delivery was impeccable and Daniel, is always animated, lively, funny and very clear in delivering the messages] and W for Warmth [the warmth and respect that Daniel brings across in an online setting is tremendous].

Now I know more, I want to do more. Terima kasih!

Here’s why anyone looking to boost their professional game should consider this course:

1. **The Knowledge Depth is Something Else**: Having been in the tech consulting world for over 20 years, I thought I knew a thing or two about how contact centres tick. I’ve learned heaps from both hitting the books and real-life client work. But Daniel, he’s on another level. He peels back layers on stuff you thought you knew through and through, and he backs it all up with examples from top-tier companies. It makes all those theoretical concepts really come to life.

2. **It’s All Connected**: One of the coolest things about Daniel’s approach is how he connects the dots. It’s like putting together a giant puzzle – piece by piece, you start to see the big picture emerge, where everything flows together smoothly. It’s not just about memorizing stuff; it’s about seeing how one thing affects another, which is super helpful for remembering and applying what you learn.

3. **The Live Experience Rocks**: Daniel’s all about the live course vibe. You get to throw questions at him, chat with fellow participants, and even grow your network with some quality connections. Targeted at Aussies, for me it meant almost no sleep for four nights. But Daniel’s way of keeping things lively, with discussions and the odd joke, made it feel easy. Plus, being up when the world’s quiet meant fewer distractions and better focus on my end.

Wrapping it up, if you’re looking to level up or streamline your contact centre management skills, Daniel’s course is the way to go. Trust me, you’re going to get a lot out of it!

Happy learning!

This course was so informative and insightful. It was brilliantly delivered and should be mandatory for anyone working in management in a contact centre.

There were so many practical take aways that we have already started implementing (before the course even finished). I could not recommend this highly enough.

And Daniel kept us interested and engaged the whole time. Thanks so much!

My Team Leads and I got so much practical knowledge out of this course that we can take back to our team.

It really made us rethink the way in which we communicate with our customers and how we can make some small adjustments that can make a big difference.

The course is very interactive and engaging – Daniel is a great trainer and I loved his energy.

Thank you Daniel for an incredible course. The content was fantastic and really informative.

I got so much value from everything you spoke about and the techniques we can all use to enhance the customer’s experience.

I loved how engaging you were and it made the two days of training fun and enlightening.

I know my team and I will be able to utilise much of the learning you provided to ensure our team manages our interactions in a better way!

I recently had the privilege of attending Daniel Ord’s workshop on “Managing Difficult Situations”, and it was nothing short of outstanding. Daniel’s expertise and passion for the subject matter truly shine through in his teaching style, making it a transformative experience for all participants.

From the moment the workshop began, Daniel’s enthusiasm was infectious. He has an exceptional ability to convey complex concepts in an understandable and relatable way. I left the workshop with a profound understanding of how to navigate challenging scenarios, both in my professional and personal life.

What truly sets Daniel apart is his commitment to engagement. Throughout the session, he encouraged active participation and created an inclusive atmosphere where questions and discussions were not just welcome but encouraged. It’s evident that he genuinely cares about each participant’s learning journey.

The real-world examples and practical strategies shared during the workshop were invaluable. Daniel’s ability to connect theory to practical application made the content highly relevant and actionable.

The workshop was impeccably organized, and Daniel’s presentation skills were top-notch. He kept the audience engaged and motivated throughout, making the entire experience enjoyable and enlightening.

In conclusion, I cannot recommend Daniel Ord’s workshops enough. If you’re looking to enhance your skills in managing difficult situations, he is the go-to expert. Thank you, Daniel, for an enriching and eye-opening workshop. I eagerly look forward to attending more of your sessions in the future.

If you’re considering attending one of Daniel’s workshops, don’t hesitate – you won’t be disappointed!

Daniel is an excellent trainer, the training was engaging, informative and provided practical skills to put into place. The course was run at a great pace and for the first time, I did not feel brain drained at the end of the training (like has been my experience with other organisations). It wasn’t information overload, it was thought provoking, practical and down to earth.

This was the most valuable training I have ever done. I have 31 years in customer service and was not sure how much value I would get out of the course. From the first session the information was powerful, thought provoking and It created a huge paradigm shift in how I view ‘abusive customers’.

While a lot of the skills I already have gained over the years, I have still walked away with some new, some refined skills.

Would highly recommend this to anyone dealing with customers or considering a career in customer service.

Thank you so much.

I highly recommend the ‘Quality Assurance for Contact Centres’ course with Daniel Ord, as it is extremely beneficial, informative and educational for anyone involved in monitoring or coaching. Daniel offers up-to-date ‘best practice’ methods to efficiently run a QA program, as well as providing you with the tools to analyse and examine your existing QA program.

I entered this course with an open mind and left this course with pages of new ideas and concepts to improve our existing QA program. The pace of this course worked well as it wasn’t rushed and gave us valuable time to share our thoughts, ideas and compare our current processes with other participants.

I’m looking forward to attending another course with Daniel as his energy and enthusiasm with this subject made this a really enjoyable course.

Dan was so friendly, informative, knowledgeable and engaging as an instructor and very funny to boot. He made a scary and daunting part of my role at work interesting & funny.

I’m excited to put his suggested approaches into action and see what kind of results I get with customers. And I have a heightened enthusiasm for trying to help our customers as best I can.

Very appreciative that my employer enrolled me in the course and would love the opportunity to do another and maybe even get to meet Dan in person!

Cannot recommend this course any more highly for any professionals who deal with customers.

In all my years of customer service, and we are now in the 4th decade of customer service, I have never done a course that answered so many questions I didn’t know I even needed an answer to.

Without a shadow of doubt, hands down, dead set – this was the BEST course I have ever taken about how to do my job. EVER.

Meeting Daniel and drinking up his enthusiasm for his work has re-sparked my desire for my job. I now have the tools and the understanding that I never had before, or if I had been given the tools, they were not explained very well, because now I get it. I get it, I never did before.

The TED talk, which I watched a couple of times over already, was perfection and I think everyone should watch it. Brilliant. I could go on.

The four of us from Dulux think this was amazing and to quote one of us, “Daniel is in the right profession.” Thank you.

I leave this review without hesitation – Daniel’s engaging and open approach to training delivery left me both energized and motivated following the week-long CCXP exam preparation course. Daniel was very supportive post-course in helping me apply to sit the CCXP exam, and to ensure I was prepared going into it. The exam was challenging, but with Daniel’s support I was able to achieve my CCXP certification in January 2023. Thank you to Daniel and the team!

Daniel was a fantastic, energetic and engaging presenter. This course starts at the beginning and provides a great foundation for what you need to manage a successful contact centre.

The course is excellent at identifying key metrics to measure performance and more importantly what metrics should never be targeted. As a newcomer to the CCM game, I learnt a lot and can’t wait to put it into practice. Highly recommend.

Coming into this course I had no idea what factors were involved in a contact centre, as this is a new role for me and the company, but now I feel confident to take what I have learnt and build on what we need to make our contact centre a success.

Thank you to Daniel on keeping us focused and making the experience fun and very informative.

I thoroughly enjoyed workshopping Quality Assurance with Daniel. Daniel introduced us to the structure, framework and application of Quality Assurance in a Contact Centre environment, providing some really key techniques to ensure successful implementation.

If you are looking to implement a QA program in your business or to future proof the quality of Service Delivery Team, I highly recommend taking this course.

I’d be happy to recommend Daniel’s course to anyone in my organisation, especially those whose core work is about improving outcomes for customers and optimising their experiences. I love all the frameworks and useful sets of tools that I’ve picked up in the course, and can’t wait to integrate them into the current Design Thinking practices.

The course is a great overview in managing difficult situations/customers. Daniel is highly engaging and passionate in delivering the content and he provides great examples and effectively guides/demonstrates these for participants, ensuring they are taking on each topic.

The team have really obtained great knowledge to put to action in their day to day roles. In addition, the techniques are very simple and realistic which will enable a quick refresh for teams down the track with the content provided.

A well designed course covering the 5 CX competencies, presented with clarity and lots of useful tips and examples. I loved it how Daniel Ord made you feel at ease from the start, delivered the course in a highly engaging and conversational style. You’ll come away with a solid foundation, whether you are new to CX or are preparing for the practisers exam.

Excellent course with a well thought and useful material that can be put into practice immediately.

Definitely will help to solve a lot of common challenges any CCM experiences. Many CCMs get their knowledge through experience and passed from their leaders, however this course certain helps to complete the knowledge gaps and also challenge some of the way you were taught. Thanks to Dan and Marcus.

So much information but all extremely valuable. Daniel and Marcus were nothing but fantastic throughout this course. Will definitely recommend to my colleagues and friends

I’ve participated in several courses with CX Skills now, specifically with Daniel Ord as the instructor. Daniel has a wealth of knowledge around customer experience and his history in customer service is top notch. CX Skills has become my go to for my team’s customer service and customer experience development. Look forward to next one.

The course itself was broken down into three sections, with each section covering what you would experience daily working within customer service, then it was further broken down and explained in more depth. Within each section, I took away multiple points that I would find myself using each day. One extremely interesting key point I took away from the ‘Difficult Situations’ section was how customers react and respond to each situation.

Dan (the instructor) broke this down into 3 states of response, ‘The Parent’ ‘The Adult’ and ‘The Child’, depending on the situation you are faced depends how a customer will choose their response. My job in this is to ensure I remain on the ‘Adult’ response, no matter how a customer reacts, whether it be a childish manner or a parental and controlling matter. Although it is quite hard to put a finger on one key point as I have 4 pages worth of notes and will most definitely be referring to the course guide!

The whole course resonated with me but something I found stood out was the ‘How to Say No and the Six Solution Types’ section. This was my main reason for participating in the course and I found it challenging but useful. They covered both how to say no but also how to say yes after saying a no, all to ensure the customer leaves feeling satisfied even if they didn’t get the answer they initially desired. We touched on a few topics within this section but the psychology behind it was fascinating and learning how to restructure your sentences and wording to create a scenario where the customer feels satisfied will be something I will apply a lot more to my work.

Although I only touched on a few topics that resonated with me, I can confirm that it was well worth it and an experience like no other course. Dan was intriguing and kept everyone engaged by using multiple learning types and you could see everyone enjoyed themselves. He had my full attention, and I was more than happy to participate in the activities and give my opinion/point of view.

I think this course was unique and the way it was structured was amazing, I think we would benefit from keeping the CX Courses on speed dial anytime we need to upskill as it was engaging and easy to follow, and even though it was in a group setting I felt I experienced it individually and learnt a lot of valuable information.

Thank you to Daniel, Marcus and Justin for this presentation, though we think we know a fair amount of “what customers want” and “how customers like to be treated” and “how to speak in an email or over the phone”, it’s always a good lesson to hear how others would present and solve a customer complaint.

The presentation was extremely valuable and gets the juices flowing and really makes you think before responding to emails.

I have taken many learnings from this course. Daniel presented in an delightfully engaging manner and provided a wealth of knowledge and insight.

I see a lot of long term benefit from this course. It has sparked new ideas, and has shifted my mindset in several ways.

Daniel provided many practical tools to utilise, and presented some fantastic ideas and valuable feedback.

I just completed the contact centre management fundamentals 4 x 4-hour workshop and it was fantastic! The facilitator (Daniel Ord) was really engaging and explained everything from WFM to forecasting in an easy to understand manner. Highly recommend to anyone working in a contact centre environment!

I’m new to the world of CX and now have a house for me to keep my acquired learnings! I felt like I had some basic Ikea furniture in my house before, but the course has given me the appetite and courage to go for more artisan pieces.

Who knows? Maybe Wedgewood is in the horizon! Both Daniel and Marcus are such engaging presenters and so knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

This course was very true to its name and provides a comprehensive overview and understanding of the competencies of successful CX Management. Daniel was extremely engaging, exceptionally well versed in the theory and allowed for some very rich contributions and shared learnings from across the group.

Highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in this space and those looking to pursue their CCXP accreditation.

I really enjoyed the CX Management course run by Daniel Ord & facilitated by Justin Tippett. It was done over Zoom and separated into 4 x 4-hour sessions which felt just right in terms of length. Daniel’s a great trainer and the course helped prepare me for the CCXP exam. It’s also provided a more holistic understanding of Customer Experience, increasing my confidence in this space so I’d highly recommend.

Another great course put together by Justin presented by their partners at Omnitouch, Daniel and Marcus. The “How to Design a Quality Assurance Program for Contact Centres” was extremely fitting for our organisation as we transition to a new telephony system.

The course was not one of those courses where they give you the answer and a few templates sending you on your way. Daniel and Marcus take you through why an appropriate framework should take into consideration the Organisations, Mission Statement, Values and Customer Service Charter.

As the session was run via Zoom, it enabled and encouraged networking opportunities not only across Australia but also with International attendees. This was a fantastic benefit as it allowed us to draw on each others lived experiences.

I really encourage you all to check out the courses and information that CX Skills has to offer as they are the best place to not only continue but to also start your learning and development!

Game-changing training and insight. Highly recommend this CX Skills training program with Daniel Ord.
