August 2024 Retail Sales & Customer Service PRO Course

I recently completed a 3-part training course with Simon (Reception PRO). It was incredibly helpful and practical, significantly enhancing my communication and writing skills. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their communication abilities.

Simon was an engaging trainer, making sure we were all following up with his pace.

He was able to set examples and delivered a presentation with all the details we needed.

Thank you Simon for your passion and great work!

The presentation by Simon was excellent. Simon is a very enthusiastic presenter who presented the information content very well. I learned some valuable insights into customer service and techniques with engaging people. Well done 🙂

I would like to say that Simon Blair from CX Skills has exceeded my expectations in providing the training in 3 sessions. The training content was apt and is helping me with my interactions on day-to-day basis. The ease with which Simon trained us is exceptional.

Highly recommend Simon, his extensive knowledge and experience makes for really engaging and fun training sessions. He has an absolute passion seeing people excel at phone and sales skills. Highly recommend! Thanks again, Chris.

I appreciate your time Simon, I have learned a lot and had fun in the process 🙂

Thanks for the training Simon, it was very informative and enjoyable!

Simon was a very helpful coach who took great care in providing me with an enhanced understanding of customer service. The methods he taught me were followed by roleplay scenarios and the psychology involved. I greatly benefited overall as he gave me personalised application catered towards my job, with an in-depth reflection of previous difficult calls I received. Was both informative and fun. Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Simon Blair to anyone looking to enhance their customer service skills.

He presented the material in a clear and engaging way, making it easy to understand and keeping everyone involved.

The session was overall fun and informative, thanks to Simon’s excellent teaching style.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Made me re-think how I communicate in general, and the FBI techniques were very interesting and clicked once you figured it out.

The course was very interesting, we learnt skills that can be developed both professionally and personally!

The trainers were knowledgeable and delivered a informative course that had great content and was able to be tailored to our specific industry.

This training transformed my thinking both professionally and personally.

It emphasises Communicating clearly – Avoid dumping too much – Breakdown the information – Don’t Assume – Do your Checks.

These strategies are invaluable in any conversation. Thank you, Simon, for the excellent guidance – much appreciated.

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.

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!

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 found this course to be extremely engaging and enjoyable. Simon is a fantastic facilitator, very articulate, charismatic, and knowledgeable.

We learned some wonderful tips on how to engage customers and keep the dialogue succinct, cordial, respectful, and outcome driven.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering doing it, and especially if you work in the customer service industry or manage a team that does. AAA+

Simon is a great trainer and there were many take aways from the session. He engaged everyone throughout the training!

Awesome training provided by Simon, all the scenarios he gave with examples, and he also gave a live demo in the training which I enjoyed!

Training was very informative and hands-on experience of the situation. Something we do every day but did not realise that we are following same principles. Thanks for refreshing the concept!
