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!

9 hours of training delivered over 3 x 3-Hour Sessions 

The Customer Service Phone Professionals course is a 9-hour training course spaced out over 3 x 3-hour sessions to minimise the impact on your operations and enable employees time to learn and apply their new skills in between each session.

This course can also be conducted privately either onsite or online which provides greater flexibility with the dates, times and duration of the course (e.g. we could deliver it over 2 x 4.5 hour sessions or a one-day onsite course).

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 your employees’ role is in representing your business and brand with every single customer interaction.

2. The ACXPA Quality Standards

Introduction & exploration of the five core competencies of the Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association’s Contact Centre Quality Standards.

We reveal how the standards enable more effective call handling and premium service delivery through positively impacting the psychology of the customer as explored in the first module.

3. How to Engage

Your employees will learn how to create a strong first impression and customer focus by showing strong ownership, intent and how to manage expectations to build trust and confidence that the customer’s service issues and needs will be resolved.

A range of customer call type 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.

Session 2

4. How to Discover Needs

We’ll teach your employees the three critical discovery techniques (as used by the FBI) to more effectively converse, mirror and confirm their needs from the customer and what is needed to resolve their enquiries in a more efficient and effective manner.

The trainer will demonstrate the techniques required across a range of scenarios to highlight their effectiveness in driving better conversations for improved insights and problem solving.

Individuals will then practice extensively with each other to develop some new habits and capability within the session.

5. How to Educate

Participants will learn how to proactively educate and inform customers with product, service & process information in a manner that maximises first contact resolution.

Clarity, Pacing, Pausing and consistent checks for questions, understanding, comfort and suitability are the key skills and behaviours covered.

6. How to Close

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

The three techniques for closing calls will be extensively practiced in rapid-fire simulations of the end of various call types in a range of contexts and situations to build greater confidence and expertise in call closing within the session.

Session 3

7. Energy & Empathy

Most businesses put a lot of time and effort into teaching staff WHAT to say but few have the internal expertise to teach staff the best manner in HOW to say it.

In this fun and engaging module, we will help participants practice proven methods to enhance their vocal delivery with better tone, stronger voice projection and improved clarity.

They will learn how to consistently sound fresh, engaging and empathetic (even when tired or worn down!) whilst projecting more confidence and clarity with each customer interaction.

8. 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 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.

Participants will learn (and practice!) a powerful two-step method for dealing with more challenging customer types and situations and how to use the most appropriate language, empathy techniques and actions to enable better call outcomes.

9. Bringing it all together

Your employees will have a chance to extensively practice all of their newly learnt customer service and call handling skills through the role-playing with each other and the trainer, complete end-to-end customer service calls they typically deal with.

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

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!

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
