The modern Contact Centre manager requires a lot of skills and tools to be successful and our numerous Contact Centre manager courses provide the best opportunity to refine skills for existing managers or learn fundamental contact centre management techniques  (that can apply to any Contact Centre) for someone about to step into a new role.

With Contact Centres a melting pot of balancing customer expectations, internal stakeholders, technology, data, employee management and so on it’s certainly no easy task.

Contact Centre managers also need to provide leadership, be tactical and strategic in their decision-making, make complex decisions based on data and have high levels of emotional intelligence.

Don’t ask for much do we?

When you consider that 75% of Contact Centre managers started on the phones themselves, it’s critical that Contact Centre managers are provided with the skills they need to succeed in this highly complex environment.

The Perfect Contact Centre Management Course

Review of Contact Centre Management Fundamentals (September 2022 class)

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.

Rebecca GossRebecca Goss ★★★★★ We have done a few training courses now through Justin and the CX Group.In these sessions the facilitator has been Dan Ord and Dans knowledge of the Contact Centre world is second to none. This was great for us as we attended as a team to ensure that the training that we received was able to be applied across my entire management team and also allowed me to drive the right outcomes based on Dan, Marcus and Justins advice and guidance.The best thing about this is that this was not one of those courses that you attend and then nothing more is said or done with this. . . Dan/Justin offer their email address so if you come up with additional questions later that you want guidance on you can ask and they are more than willing to assist.Dan, Marcus and Justin thanks for facilitating this training and we will sure be intouch for other training courses that we would like to run through the CX Group.Bec GossResponse from the ownerWow, thanks Bec!

The course is packed with real life examples illustrating the 6 pillars of customer experience! Dan shares all his knowledge and expertise freely and with great love and enthusiasm for the subject matter!Response from the ownerThanks Marianne, was lovely to have your input and experience in the group. Dan is certainly very passionate about CX (and also with contact centres like you!) and I think you're spot on, the examples Daniel uses really does bring the course to life and make the learnings stick! Rachael LoweRachael Lowe ★★★★★ The CX Management Fundamentals course was exceptional, a balanced blend of best in-class examples and theory . Daniel was the utmost professional, sharing his wealth of knowledge in customer experience and contact centre management. Content was relevant and covered an array of business examples. A course that exemplifies two-way participation (no death by PowerPoint). The diverse group of attendees had the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge, which was priceless. I highly recommend this course for anyone in the customer experience realm, even beginners like me.Response from the ownerThanks Rachael for your lovely review and for your input throughout the course. You're right, the combination of Daniel's training and learning from others is a great way to learn and build your network - you've now got some new CX friends from the UK, Malaysia, Germany, Budapest and the USA! Eva PEva P ★★★★★ I learnt a lot about CX and the course gave me clarity on the 6 main competencies. The training was fun, enjoyable, I can recommend to anyone who is passionate about the "Customer" subject. Daniel is very knowledgeable and experienced, he used real life business examples to understand both the strategic and tactical elements of CX. He also involved us which generated even more credibility.Response from the ownerThanks Eva for your review and recommendation! We are thrilled you enjoyed the class (even though the time zones made it a bit more challenging for you in Budapest) and we are here to help when you take the next step and sit for the CCXP exam 🙂 Rory LynchRory Lynch ★★★★★ I could not recommend this Company highly enough, I have now done two courses with the Fantastic Dan & Marcus and have taken so much away. I want to thank everybody involved with CX Skills.Response from the ownerThanks Rory, appreciate you taking the time to send us in a review! Lee SiefkenLee Siefken ★★★★★ Game-changing training and insight. Highly recommend CX Skills training program.Response from the ownerThanks so much Lee, your marketing insights also added a lot of value to the group and wish you all the best in implementing your new Quality program into the contact centre. Vanessa GraltonVanessa Gralton ★★★★★ An absolutely fun and engaging learning session presented by Daniel. Would definitely recommend.Response from the ownerThanks Vanessa, so glad you could join us on the How to Design a QA program for contact centres and best of luck with the implementation! Adrian PowellAdrian Powell ★★★★★ 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!Response from the ownerThanks Adrian, really appreciate your detailed review. Having already completed our Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course a couple of months ago it was great to have you back for this course! The QA course is certainly one of our favourites as having the right framework in place really drives everything you do in your contact centre. And as you have pointed out, just handing out a scorecard and saying 'use this' rarely works. Defining what quality is to your business is the key, and then having the right frameworks in place to ensure you drive it delivers sustainable results so we look forward to hearing your progress as you implement your program! Monica MalgariniMonica Malgarini ★★★★★ Justin and the team at CX Skills have gone over and above the call of duty to deliver great Customer Service training to our entire Service Centre team. The training has been high quality, delivered remotely, and Justin has been extremely flexible with necessary changes to attendees due to operational requirements. I highly recommend CX Skills to assist with your training needs.Response from the ownerThanks Monica for the wonderful review. It's been a pleasure working with yourself, Todd and all of your wonderful staff in delivering our Managing Difficult Customers course to your entire team. Chris RemnantChris Remnant ★★★★★ The training provided manages to take complex sales strategies and make them easy to understand and implicate in a sales call. It provides a structure that isn’t stifled by wordy scripts and pitches, and guides consultants towards a successful outcome for both the customer and consultant.This training took efficient, tried and tested sales concepts and expand on them to not only generate higher conversion, but a more positive customer experience.Aside from the training, which was amazing, Simon - the trainer - was a pleasure to work with. He was attentive and showed a real passion and desire to enhance the trainee’s sales expertise.I would recommend CX Group to anyone who will listen!Response from the ownerThanks Chris for your great review and so pleased you enjoyed the Inbound Sales Professional course with Simon. And we agree, once you've learnt the structure it makes sales a much more effective and enjoyable process! Nicole FieldNicole Field ★★★★★ I recently attended the Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course and found it extremely useful and relevant. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable on all topics and handled questions with ease. He was a great trainer and i found the session had a great mix to suit all learning styles. I have taken so much from this course, the networking opportunities as well as the CX website and associated resources. I highly recommend attending if you are looking to better understand contact centre management regardless of what level you work at.Response from the ownerThanks Nicole for your wonderful review! It was great to meet you on the course and I look forward to hearing about your future successes. Badri PokhrelBadri Pokhrel ★★★★★ Thank you team-It has certainly changed the whole perspective on how I used to see and handle the issues not just at the workplace but also in day to day life. Very practical and informative course content delivered in a very professional way. I truely recomend everyone out there to use this platform.Response from the ownerThank you Badri. So great to hear you loved the Managing Difficult Customers course and that the learnings have helped you in both your work and personal life! Sarsha SSarsha S ★★★★★ Justin created a great call centre fundamentals program for our organisation, based on the skill gaps needed filling. Although it was at the height of the Melbourne lockdown the session was still interactive, interesting and achieved the desired result.Response from the ownerThanks Sarsha, was great to meet you and the team and I wish you all the best on your customer experience and call centre journey! Katherine Robshaw Ed DeptKatherine Robshaw Ed Dept ★★★★★ Really enjoyed course on handling difficult customers. I came away with a number of tools that I can use not only with customers, but also day to day life.Response from the ownerThanks Katherine, we loved having you on the course and thanks for sharing some of your interesting stories and examples! Linda PLinda P ★★★★☆ Response from the ownerThanks Linda, great to have you in our course! Kaylee GerbesKaylee Gerbes ★★★★★ Justin from CX responded promptly to my training enquiry. He heard what we wanted and we discussed best way to present this during Melbourne Lockdown. He conducted the introduction to contact centre leadership remotely with a small group. He weaved his contact centre experience with humour and activities that were appropriate and engaging. At the end each person agreed that they learnt lots and were going to apply at least one thing back in their role. I would highly recommend CX and Justin for training and support.Response from the ownerThanks Kaylee, it was a pleasure to spend some time with the team and I'm sure with that level of enthusiasm and passion your contact centre will be in good hands for the future! js_loader

Great Contact Centre Management Course!

Review of January 2023 Contact Centre Management Fundamentals

The contact centre management course was comprehensive and well-organized. It covered a wide range of topics, including contact centre metrics, workforce forecasting, and performance metrics.

The instructor (Daniel) was knowledgeable and engaging, and the course materials were easy to follow. I particularly appreciated the hands-on exercises and case studies, which helped me to apply what I learned to real-world situations.

Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their skills in managing a contact centre.
