The BEST course I've ever done!

Review of February 2023 Managing Difficult 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.

CX Management Fundamentals/ CCXP Exam Preparation Workshop

The CX Management Fundamentals & CCXP Exam Preparation Workshop is designed for management-level individuals who want to enhance their understanding of CX and/or pursue their international CCXP Certification credential.

We are aligned with the CXPA guidelines,  which means that our courseware, background and testimonials meet the requirements of the CXPA (Customer Experience Professionals Association) and map to their required competencies for CCXP Certification.

In this intensive 18-hour workshop (delivered over 4 x 4.5 hour online/virtual sessions), we cover the five required competency areas, including CX Strategy, Customer Insight & Understanding, Design, Implementation & Innovation, Metrics, Measurement & ROI and Culture & Accountability.  We also share essential Customer Experience know-how, including frameworks, customer expectations and essential research know-how.

CCXP Certification is optional – and can be taken at any time. So it’s nice to know that whether you decide to pursue certification now – or into the future – this workshop is in line with global standards for the profession.

Contact Centre Management Fundamentals

The Contact Centre Management Fundamentals workshop is designed for both new and experienced Contact Centre leaders who want to understand operations, KPIs and dynamics inherent in the Contact Centre environment.

Once equipped with this critical know-how, participants are able to make better decisions, set better metrics for different job roles and understand the critical planning & management process around putting the amount of resources in place to handle Customer demand – and their role in the process.

We’ve been teaching Contact Centre management for 20 years and have the stories, examples and case studies from Clients around the world who took what they learned in this workshop and applied it directly to their operations (and lots of fantastic testimonials!).

Managing Difficult Customers

Managing angry or upset customers effectively requires confidence and skill, yet most people have never been taught these skills.

This course isn’t just a few words and phrases to use or some basic concepts scraped off Google.

It’s a comprehensive, high-quality program that has been developed and refined over decades. It is delivered over two x 4-hour sessions and will make a lasting lifetime impact on your employees.

How to Design a Quality Assurance Framework for Contact Centres (to improve quality)

The Quality Assurance for Contact Centres is designed for QA professionals, CX Managers, Service Quality Managers & Contact Centre Managers who are responsible for designing and managing quality performance across Customer Service Teams.

Great quality results from a great process  – and in this workshop, we cover that process step by step – providing insight, advice and real-world examples. We also provide nearly 50 pages of samples, templates & examples around designing the program, the Monitoring forms and Performance standards.

In addition to teaching Quality Assurance for nearly 20 years, we’ve also designed & conducted Mystery Shopper programs for Clients around the world – so we know what it takes to deliver great Quality.   And we share that with Participants.

How to Assess & Coach Contact Centre Agents

The How to Assess & Coach workshop is designed for Contact Centre Team Leaders and Managers in particular – to help them understand, design and innovate their Monitoring & Coaching program to achieve Quality.

And that means understanding the M&C process in its entirety – because at the end of the day, anyone who coaches a Customer Service/Contact Centre Agent needs to know two things:

  1. what they’re talking about
  2. how to talk about it.

And that means knowing what goes into Quality and how to talk about it.

We even cover the difference between scoring an Agent and helping an Agent – because they’re not the same thing – and though both are important, it’s important to understand how they work together to deliver results.

Learn more about the course >

How to Lead and Manage Contact Centre Agents

The How to Lead & Manage Employees workshop is specifically designed for all levels of management in the Service & Contact Centre discipline.

While generic leadership classes can cover important principles, we find that leaders in the Service industry have specific needs when it comes to improving the engagement & performance of the people that work for them.

We cover what leadership & management mean at a practical level, how the best Team Leaders (in particular) spend their time and energy, how to have those important people conversations (with practice) and what terms like culture, motivation and engagement really mean.

I was prepared very well for the CCXP exam!

Review of February 2022 Customer Experience Management Training

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!

When Daniel isn’t working… 

When he’s not in training rooms around the world or the keynote speaker at some of the world’s top conferences, you’ll find Dan inside art galleries & museums, taking long walks (he’s known for going on some very LONG walks!), reading, writing and sampling some of the beautiful wineries in his neighbourhood.

Art also runs in Daniel’s blood – he previously owned an art gallery in Singapore so it’s fair to say he would be one of few the people in the world who is a world-leading CX trainer by day, and an art connoisseur by night!

Born in America, Daniel moved to Singapore in his late 30’s and he liked it so much, he stayed! Daniel became a long-term resident of Singapore for 20 years forming a great base for training across the world as well as establishing great networks across the Asia-Pacific region.

After 20 years in Singapore, Daniel relocated to Germany in 2019 to join his partner and in between training courses, he spends his time walking through the local villages, sampling the local wineries and of course taking in the beautiful views.

Vodafone Fiji being South Pacific’s most advanced & leading telecommunications service provider, was leading its way towards the digital transition of most of its services & operations. This meant digitizing it’s customer touchpoints & thereby getting our staff up to speed in serving these customers using the new channels. So that’s where we reached out to an expert in this trade to assist us in this journey of coaching our CC staff. Daniel Ord did a fantastic job & the results were visible during the program itself. That’s one of the fastest turnarounds I’ve seen from a coaching program!  Rizvi Amith, Heading the Digital Business & Service Innovation for Vodafone

The last time Daniel could be in Melbourne to conduct training was in 2019, just before COVID changed the world.

This is a short video recorded by participants who had just finished the Call Centre Management Fundamentals course.
