Who is this course suitable for?

Customer service training course for receptionists

The January 2024 Customer Service Reception PRO course has been designed to help employees who are already working in a role that interacts with customers and who have some experience talking to customers (as we will use their current challenges and examples as part of the learnings).

The 3 x 3-hour sessions have been designed to be delivered in a structured manner, enabling students to learn and apply their new skills in between the different sessions.

The customer service skills we teach are applicable to all industries, products and services!

Typical roles suitable for this course include:

  • Customer service staff.
  • Office/administration employees.
  • Receptionists/personal assistants.
  • Front-of-house staff (gyms, restaurants etc.).
  • Medical/Dental/Veterinary practice staff.
  • Warehouse/logistics employees.
  • Retail workers.

Other suitable customer service courses we have include Customer Service Reception Essentials, Customer Service Phone Professional or Customer Service Excellence courses.

Course Modules:

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

Then the service experience model that forms the basis of the program, ‘The 5 Degrees of Customer Experience’, is introduced in a sequenced manner that builds competency and new habits in a staged approach.

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, it 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 put their new skills to work with the practice conducted 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.

Testimonials for Simon Blair

Best Customer Service/Sales training!

Review of September 2023 Customer Service Phone Professionals

Simon was one of the best trainers I met. He was keen on details, positive and right scripting, understanding, patient, and clear in explaining topics.

He doesn’t just spoon-feed, he really explains the scientific and logical how things work for you to become the best out of many customer service/sales representatives.

He can really tell what you need and will help you overcome the challenges. Also, he has an amazing sense of humor.

Overall he covers everything that you need and the training was fun! Kudos!

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!

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.

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.

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! js_loader
