Who should do this course?
The March 2022 Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course will benefit anyone who wants to understand the fundamentals that apply to all inbound contact centres including roles such as:
- An existing Team Leader who is preparing to move into a more senior role.
- An existing contact centre manager who is looking to learn global best-practice operations and/or who was never taught any formal contact centre management skills.
- A newcomer to contact centre management.
- A senior executive with accountability for the contact centre channel that needs to learn the key fundamentals to enable them to effectively manage the channel.
16 Hours of Live, Facilitated Learning delivered via 4 x 4-Hour sessions:
The Contact Centre Manager Fundamentals course is delivered via Zoom across 4 x 4-hour online modules. The four modules are delivered across four consecutive days to maximise learning effectiveness. Regular breaks are included to ensure you can maintain focus throughout the course.
Module 1: Begin at the Beginning – Customer Wait Time
For the Contact Centre to achieve Customer, Employee & Organisational goals requires a masterly level understanding of Service Level, Response Time and associated Wait Time metrics.
We share the practices that matter – and the ones that don’t. Along with Service Level Recovery plans, interpreting Readerboard data and improving queue management in real-time.
Module 2: Measuring Contact Centre Success
What is ‘efficiency’ in a Contact Centre? Setting & measuring the right KPIs for different job roles is a senior management responsibility. Because when you get it right – you get great performance.
When it’s not right – or based on misaligned understanding of how Contact Centres really work – you get barriers to performance.
And we share our popular Agent & Team Leader P, Q & A performance system – so easy to understand and explain it helps transform Contact Centre performance almost immediately.
Module 3: Forecasting Practices
Healthy Workforce Management practices are foundational to Centre success. While not everyone needs to ‘do’ WFM, everyone needs to understand what is involved and how they contribute to success.
Time Series Forecasting, Bottoms Up Forecasting, Blending in Judgement – we cover the essentials so everyone can do their part when it comes to WFM.
Module 4: Contact Centre University
If there were a Contact Centre University, these topics would be included in the curriculum – the Immutable Laws, the role & use of Erlang C, Shrinkage, using the Response Time Formula and of course the right way to budget Contact Centre Labour.
You’ll gain a solid understanding of how to articulate the Contact Centre complexities to both senior management and your own Team Members.
Zoom Zoom!

Excellent course with a well thought and usefull material that can be put into practice immediately . Definitely will help to solve a lot of common challenges any CCM experiences.

I had a fantastic learning experience with the half day Journey Mapping course. Shane was our trainer and explained things thoroughly, used great practical examples and helped through the exercise when needed. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. The group size was not too big so everyone was able to contribute online. I feel confident to 'give a journey map a go' now, thank you. Helen

The Introduction to Contact Centre Management is an excellent course for those looking to understand contact centres from a helicopter view and benchmark their operations. From the fundamental pillars to critical KPIs and performance metrics that underpin almost every contact centre globally, Justin is personable and professional and speaks with authority on a topic he knows intimately.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
