Introduction to Customer Experience course (CX)
$348 AUD per person
A lot is said and heard about Customer Experience (CX) professionals, but how many people really understand what CX is and what it can do for your business?
Sure, CX professionals are working to deliver insights that their organisations can use to improve stakeholder value – across customers, employees & the organisation and some powerful CX stats are showing the value they are adding.
However, the CX Team typically represents only a few folks across organisations with dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of employees.
And it takes everyone in the company to make great CX outcomes happen.
And what does CX even mean? Even within the industry, there is often confusion about customer experience.
So, we created this Introduction to Customer Experience course to help everyone in your business understand what CX is (and isn’t) because it begins when you have all employees in your business to contribute to great CX outcomes.
Drawn from our leading CX Management / CCXP Exam Preparation 20-hour workshop, the Introduction to Customer Experience course provides a high-level overview of Customer Experience Management.
We cover what CX is, what it looks like and why it matters.
We’ll also cover how it compares and contrasts to Customer Service (as there is a lot of confusion) so you’ll be able to actively facilitate and engage in CX conversations and understand how CX can improve profitability and employee engagement and, of course, create happier customers.
So, if you want to take your business on a CX Journey, this is a great place to start!
