The training was quite interesting and educational, and with the help of our trainer, Simon Blair, I learnt a lot about how to talk to customers on the phone and expand our expertise. Simon has not only made the training more entertaining but also pleasurable by using interactive role plays to help participants better comprehend the program’s concept, so I would strongly recommend him for the upcoming session. Excellent work, Simon!

The training was very helpful; I learnt so much and it very much helped with how to manage my team.

The training is very good in terms of people management; how to approach people, what to say, how much time to spend with which officers. The one thing I learnt which was so new was to spend more time with the best performers.

That was something as I was spending more time with officers who were not performing so it was a good mindset change!

Very good training and excellent techniques delivered throughout the training. One thing that stood out for me, and I see that it helps during conversations with the person I am coaching, is the silent technique.

Asking a question and giving the silence, prompts the person coached to open up and say what’s in his mind – great technique that really worked!

Thank you to Nant for such an insightful and well-paced course. I learnt a lot about my own triggers, responses/reactions to them in both the workplace and life more broadly, and how I can best arm myself to be more resilient in the future, especially having recently come into a workplace that is entirely new to me and moved interstate.

My favourite part of our discussion was the association Nant made between action and confidence. I had never really thought about how confidence can also be something that is practical rather than emotional, and that it is up to us to continually hone this as a skill rather than an attribute that may or may not come naturally to us. Thank you. 🙂

Daniel was fantastic! The course gave me a fresh perspective of how to deal with difficult interactions with customers as well as different techniques when having those tough conversations. I highly recommend this course!

Daniel did an excellent job sharing tips and tricks for handling conversations with difficult customers. I will definitely use the tools he provided! Thank you Daniel & Marcus

I had the pleasure of attending a customer service training session today with Simon Blair, and it was fantastic! The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and made the session both informative and enjoyable.

Their real-world examples and interactive approach really brought the concepts to life. I left feeling more confident and equipped to deliver excellent customer service. Highly recommend!

Many aspects of daily communication that we may use, or may never have experienced are broken down into usable and repeatable key points.

It’s been one week since the course and I have already found a notable difference in the manner clients respond to my attempts at communicating, after implementing skills discussed in the course.

I would like to show much appreciation to Simon and Nant for their customer foundation course. Simon and Nant were engaging and personable.

The teachings were related back to our work situations which was most helpful. The health and wellbeing model was a very valuable experience – allowing for vulnerability.

I have already used some of the strategies in my personal life and will continue to put the teachings into practise within my working relationships as well as my personal relationships with family and friends.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and guidance.

I recently took part in the Customer Experience training conducted by Simon, which was mandatory for all employees. Before the training, like many others, I was apprehensive about its duration given our busy schedules and anticipated would be boring.

Surprisingly, it turned out to be the complete opposite. The training flew by, thanks to Simon’s fun and energetic delivery and his encouragement for active participation in various scenarios.

He imparted valuable insights and practical tips applicable not only in the workplace but also in personal interactions. Overall, the session was highly informative and engaging. Thank you, Simon!

This training explains exactly *why* good customer experiences are good and how to make them good for your customers. Best of all Simon builds a framework you can use in all your interactions and provides scenario insights that help you make the connection between the framework and how to use it in all the various types of customer interactions you have day-to-day, whatever your role.

E.g., having a clear framework for the Engage step make a huge difference. Once you understand the CX framework Simon teaches, just saying ‘hello’ becomes more purposeful. Having that conscious intent and being focussed on establishing trust when you kick-off that initial meet-and-greet makes a huge difference to the whole meeting.

I will be reviewing Simon’s excellent and simple-to follow CX framework as an essential part of my pre-meeting preparation for – well – just about everything from now on.

I found this course to be extremely engaging and enjoyable. Simon is a fantastic facilitator, very articulate, charismatic, and knowledgeable.

We learned some wonderful tips on how to engage customers and keep the dialogue succinct, cordial, respectful, and outcome driven.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering doing it, and especially if you work in the customer service industry or manage a team that does. AAA+

Simon provided the perfect balance to deliver an enjoyable but focused message that I think met the needs of our newer staff members as well as our more seasoned staff who live and breathe ‘customer service’.

Having a mixed audience from across our practices for these sessions was a great format, and Simon’s approach was very well received.

I am sure everyone learnt something to take back and hone to improve the service experience for our customers (internal and external), and even our social lives. Thank You Simon!

It was an awesome session with lots of real time examples to better relate to the content and truly embed what has been taught.

I was able to enjoy the whole 3 hour session without getting bored once! The trainer (Simon) knew how to conduct his content in such an interactive manner and so much involved and connected to each of the trainees.

Highly recommended! Simon taught skills you probably use every day but brought format and structure to it.

Makes you highly aware of how we form conversations and steer them in a direction where you get results.

Simon was very engaging and fun during the session, and I could take value from it and further apply it to everyday interactions.

I recently had the privilege of attending Daniel Ord’s workshop on “Managing Difficult Situations”, 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!

Simon conducted an extremely comprehensive Customer Service Phone Pro Training. His knowledge was incredibly impressive and I’m very grateful to have taken away so many new skills.

Simon gave valuable advice for not only how we communicate with customers but also with family, friends and strangers. I will definitely be applying my new learning in everyday life.

The training provided manages to take complex sales strategies and make them easy to understand and implement 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 expanded 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.

If you want to improve your sales team’s performance and build an engaging, supportive coaching environment, this course will get you there.

Simon’s insights will motivate and guide your leaders and sales teams with structured practical processes that can be adapted to any sales or service organisation. It’s a brilliant and motivating model where mediocrity is challenged and opportunities created. It works!

Hi Simon, thanks again for your support. Clearly, the program is working! To illustrate how strong the performance has been, as at the end of January:

– Overall we’re 9% above budget in new premium sales for the first 7 months

– The call centre team are an amazing 17% above budget financial year to date

– Year to date sales compared to the same period last year are 13% up

– We have achieved 17% more in premium sales this January than the previous one

In addition, the continued improvement in our customer experience using the model is clear evidence that the quality and outcomes of those interactions are an extremely positive one.
