Overview

Whoever handles a visitor interaction (be it a call, frontline service or back-office support) represents your entire company. They are not just providing customer service, they are representing your brand and your culture. They are managing relationships for the future and indirectly selling your products & services. With this in mind, the way they are hired, managed, incentivised, empowered, equipped and trained has a significant impact, going well beyond merely resolving a customer’s immediate issues.

Organisations delivering engaging VISITOR experiences grow revenues 4-8% beyond their competitors. Service plays a critical role: 89% of customers who experience positive service are likely to repurchase from the providing company. Meanwhile, one-third of customers would immediately consider switching to other providers in the event of poor service. Research like this validates our point: Good service is no longer enough – companies that want to succeed need to be outstanding.

We help build exciting, engaged and empowered visitor-centric companies based on these driving beliefs, developing people to be the best they possibly can be!

TRAINING FORMATS

  • Service Sprints & Bootcamps: Whether a few hours or a few days, the CXSA Academy will engage your team in the essence of service excellence and building a visitor-centric culture. When a sprint workshop is concluded, your team will be inspired and empowered to deliver passionate, five-star service.
  • Extended Engagements: Instead of consolidating training into an intensive bootcamp, consider a longer-term relationship: we can reconnect with your team at preferred intervals to deliver core subject areas in time-sensitive sessions. An added benefit is the greater depth of coaching we can provide as your team gains skills & confidence over time.

INTRODUCING THE DRIVING COMPONENTS Of Visitor Experience

Learning Path

A 2-day programme designed to introduce front liners/ushers to the fundamentals of service excellence. The aim is to consistently deliver “above expectation” service. This has been the aspiration of the leading companies delivering “best in market” and is a vital component to integrating the experiences the different events offer.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Ushers/frontline service professionals who may already have practical experience delivering customer service but no formal training (beyond the basics). Great customer service relies on great communication skills with emotional connection and intelligence. When delivered well, customer service becomes the greatest differentiator between companies.
