Course Modules:

The August 2024 Customer Service Reception PRO course is designed first to influence the psychology of your employees to start viewing customer service from a customer perspective rather than their own internal, operational mindset.

Centred on body language, conversation skills, listening, proactivity, energy & empathy, participants will learn how to be more confident, efficient and effective with every customer interaction they have.

The training consists of powerful demonstrations and practice in the premium behaviours with nine key modules that are outlined below.

We’ve also included a module to master the skills of handling difficult customers that will not only reduce anxiety in your staff in how to handle those tough situations but will also help your business by reducing the number of frustrated customers.

There’s plenty of role-playing and practice built in to ensure your employees can embed their new skills in a safe, fun and welcoming online environment.

At the end of the course, trainees will be provided with a certificate of achievement and, most importantly, be empowered with new skills that will help them succeed in their role and help improve the outcomes for your business.

Session 1

1. The Psychology of Customer Service

This module sets the scene about what customers want and need based on decades of research, WHY the customer experience is so important and how crucial the reception role is in representing the face of your business and brand in the manner you desire.

It also includes an introduction to the five core competencies of the Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association’s Contact Centre Quality Standards and how they enable more positive customer experiences through premium service delivery.

2. Body Language & Voice Projection

This fun and interactive module goes a long way in helping participants to showcase to each other and themselves how our first impressions when dealing with Reception staff are either positively or negatively impacted by the combination of our body language and vocal delivery and style.

Your employees will learn the use of a variety of vocal techniques for more dynamic and natural vocal delivery as well as a range of body language essentials to enable strong face-to-face and phone communication to occur.

3. How to Engage

Your employees will learn how to create a strong first impression with warmth, intent and clear management of customer expectations as to what happens next in terms of the product, process or service delivery.

A range of reception service simulations will be run for both group demonstration and lots of individual practice in the use of the key skills and behaviours learnt to better engage customers when they enter your workplace or pick up the telephone.

Session 2

4. How to Discover Customer Needs

We’ll teach your employees the three critical discovery techniques (as used by the FBI) to explore and confirm customer details and needs in order to resolve their enquiries, or to refer them to others who can, in a more efficient and effective manner.

5. How to Educate & Inform

Participants will learn how to proactively educate and inform customers about products and services & process information in a manner that maximises first-contact resolution or facilitates referral for further contact from the best person to assist them.

Clarity, Pacing, Pausing and consistent checks for questions, comfort and suitability are the key skills and behaviours covered to ensure customers have what they need or understand the next steps/actions being taken to help them.

6. How to Close

Employees will learn how to better control the end of any type of customer interaction to avoid those often awkward, clunky finishes through a simple method of strong final checks, expressions of gratitude and thanks in a warm farewell.

They will also learn the best techniques or options available when facilitating warm or direct call transfers to other individuals or teams within the organisation and the things to avoid or be mindful of that can create negative experiences for customers during this process.

Session 3

7. Dealing with Difficult Customers

This module includes an exploration into the science behind emotions, and how they can impact customer brain chemistry and functions when things go wrong and also when they go right!

We will help your reception staff to better understand what is happening with emotional customers in real-time and what is needed as a response to validate and diffuse their emotions effectively in order to focus on what is needed to resolve or progress further with others in the organisation.

Participants will also learn (and practice!) a powerful two-step method for dealing with more challenging customer types and situations over the phone.

We will also teach a range of critical body language and vocal techniques that can be used together to diffuse negative emotions in a face-to-face environment – critical skills for any customer-facing staff.

8. Bringing it all together!

Your employees will have a chance to extensively practice all of their newly learnt reception skills through role-playing with each other and the trainer, complete end-to-end reception scenarios for both phone and face-to-face enquiries.

This will enable them to build greater confidence in applying their new habits so they are ready to ‘hit the ground running’ and make an immediate impact in their roles and on your business post training.

9. Email & Online Chat Best Practices

An email and online chat (if needed) writing workshop that reveals simple but powerful guidelines and methods for writing clear, concise & effective emails and chat responses that engages the reader, communicates information in a clear and concise manner and triggers positive emotional responses and enquiry outcomes.

Other courses suitable for receptionists include:

Many aspects of daily communication that we may use, or may never have experienced are broken down into usable and repeatable key points.

It’s been one week since the course and I have already found a notable difference in the manner clients respond to my attempts at communicating, after implementing skills discussed in the course.

Review of Customer Service Foundations Training Course

I would like to show much appreciation to Simon and Nant for their customer foundation course. Simon and Nant were engaging and personable.

The teachings were related back to our work situations which was most helpful. The health and wellbeing model was a very valuable experience – allowing for vulnerability.

I have already used some of the strategies in my personal life and will continue to put the teachings into practise within my working relationships as well as my personal relationships with family and friends.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and guidance.

Engaging and informative

Review of Service Experience Essentials (Private Course)

I recently took part in the Customer Experience training conducted by Simon, which was mandatory for all employees. Before the training, like many others, I was apprehensive about its duration given our busy schedules and anticipated would be boring.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be the complete opposite. The training flew by, thanks to Simon’s fun and energetic delivery and his encouragement for active participation in various scenarios.

He imparted valuable insights and practical tips applicable not only in the workplace but also in personal interactions. Overall, the session was highly informative and engaging. Thank you, Simon!

What you kind of knew but didn't know you knew!

Review of Service Experience Essentials (Private Course)

This training explains exactly *why* good customer experiences are good and how to make them good for your customers. Best of all Simon builds a framework you can use in all your interactions and provides scenario insights that help you make the connection between the framework and how to use it in all the various types of customer interactions you have day-to-day, whatever your role.

E.g., having a clear framework for the Engage step make a huge difference. Once you understand the CX framework Simon teaches, just saying ‘hello’ becomes more purposeful. Having that conscious intent and being focussed on establishing trust when you kick-off that initial meet-and-greet makes a huge difference to the whole meeting.

I will be reviewing Simon’s excellent and simple-to follow CX framework as an essential part of my pre-meeting preparation for – well – just about everything from now on.

I recently had the privilege of attending Daniel Ord's workshop on "Managing Difficult Situations" hosted by Omni Touch, 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!

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 Goss

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 owner: Thanks 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!

He also involved us which generated even more credibility.

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 owner: Thanks 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!

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 owner: Thanks 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!

Response from the owner: Thanks Katherine, we loved having you on the course and thanks for sharing some of your interesting stories and examples!

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 owner: Thanks 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!
