Review of CX Management Fundamentals (Private Class)

This was a great introductory course into CX, the sessions put a lot of concepts into context and the course materials are well structured and will provide great revision and reference. Daniel was a wonderful facilitator – great communicator and really positive and willing to support us on the learning journey!

Review of CX Management Fundamentals (Private Class)

This course was delivered in a practical but very engaging manner. Daniel is excellent and provides many helpful examples and tips throughout the course. There is plenty of space for discussion along the way which really helps to embed the learning. Thank you so much.

Daniel was incredible, supportive and such a great wealth of knowledge. The course went over CX fundamentals extremely well and also delved more into incorporating good CX culture at organisations too. Both the content and course facilitator provided for an overall amazing experience over 4 days.

Review of Inbound Sales Essentials (Private)

The training was grounded in real-world scenarios that made sense and were easy to adapt to our own workplace.

Simon was an enthusiastic trainer and kept the training engaging and moving along.

Review of Inbound Sales Essentials (Private)

First and Foremost, Simon delivered this training in a very down-to-earth, simple and clear manner. His address was universal to all participants. I really love the way we have changed our mindset form Traditional Sales (yuck) to Modern Buying. So much information I will be printing out the slideshow notes and utilising as a blueprint from which to continue to improve and grow as a Customer Experience Officer in the 10% 🙂

I would definitely recommend this training to others. Simon was able to pepper the core message with fun whilst still delivering an excellent product.

My very first call after the training session, using the techniques taught, “Tell me your situation etc” and being able to resolve that for her, my customer said to me, “Thank you I feel you have understood my issue and won’t need to worry anymore, I feel I have finally been heard”. So, it really does work). Thanks Simon!

Polish the Process!

18 September 2026

Simon sets a framework with easy measurable targets of progressing through a standard call/enquiry process. This is not a one size fits all. The processes can be finessed to fit the non-standard call.

The course has behavioral expert advice on improving the telephonic experience for the student by being natural, steering the conversation for the best information sharing experience, understanding and emotional response and checkback to make sure you are aligned with the student’s enquiry.

In our case, given the nature of the product, the motivation for the student to follow through and not just apply and enrol but actually complete the course is out of the initial contact person’s hands. The energy and momentum should be reflected in every aspect of interaction at TAFE.

Review of Inbound Sales Essentials (Private)

I thought it was a great approach to delivering training. Simon has a friendly, honest, and engaging style when presenting sales methodology.

One of my key takeaways was recognising that, whether I am speaking with students or members of my team, I can sometimes bring too much of my own experience into the conversation. Moving forward, I will focus more on “letting it ride” with the other person, listening to their perspective, and creating a more balanced discussion.

I particularly liked the concept of bridging, which reminded me of the OSLIQ model we used at Telstra in the early 2000s. It reinforced the importance of guiding conversations naturally while maintaining a focus on the customer’s needs and goals.

I am passionate about making a positive impact on how we approach sales at TAFE Queensland, and this session has provided some additional tools and techniques that I can share more broadly across the business. Many staff are uncomfortable and fear the term “sales”, so I often frame it in terms of conversion, service excellence, and quality student engagement. This training further reinforced that effective sales conversations are ultimately about understanding needs, building trust, and helping people make informed decisions.

Thank you. Mark

Honestly does not matter which industry you are working within, this face-to-face training for Customer Service Phone Essentials is exceptional. Providing the Customer Service Experience to our customers is definitely achievable via using the strategies / steps that Simon Blair covers. I entered the 3 hour training, I was not bored once, nor did my attention stray from the content and the way that this was delivered so well. Customer Service is extremely important within any business structure, if you want your business to outshine the rest in your field, Let Simon Blair help you with this. Book your staff into this amazing course.
Response from the owner:Oh wow thanks Deborah, what a lovely review - Simon is a great presenter and knows his stuff which is always a good combination so thrilled to hear it resonated! We take a lot of pride in building courses that actually make a difference rather than tick compliance boxes so your feedback has put a big smile on our face, thank you!

Just finished the introduction to contact centre management course, i really enjoyed it Justin was excellent as facilitator. Some fantastic content. This course is great for a variety or people in different positions. Team leaders looking to progress would get a lot of benefit but even Contact Centre managers like me who have done the role for a while. It provided some great insights to customer experience and how to help your team leaders to have a greater impact on their people & customers. I'm armed with quite a few practical take aways.
Response from the owner:Thanks Daniel, appreciate the kind words and really glad to hear you enjoyed the course and got some practical takeaways!

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!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the lovely review Trisha! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the Managing Difficult Customers course and we are very lucky to have Daniel as one of our trainers - as you've articulated, we truly think he's the best in the business and testimonials such as yours certainly help confirm we are not alone in that thinking!

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

This course is absolutely fundamental to anyone dealing with customer experience, the customer journey and also customer service departments. The course is packed with real life examples illustrating the 6 pillars of customer experience! Dan shares all his knowledge and expertise freely and with great love and enthusiasm for the subject matter!
Response from the owner:Thanks Marianne, was lovely to have your input and experience in the group. Dan is certainly very passionate about CX (and also with contact centres like you!) and I think you're spot on, the examples Daniel uses really does bring the course to life and make the learnings stick!
