businesses to date have seen tangible results thanks to our CX Masterclass.
Our action-packed CX Masterclass is designed to give you the CX edge needed to beat out your competitors. Hosted over two days, delegates can enjoy an interactive, highly engaging workshop that will teach you how to retain a loyal customer base, acquire new customers, mitigate risk and drive overall business growth with superior CX.
Hosted by top global CX thought leader, Nathalie Schooling and sought-after customer experience strategist, Brendon Bairstow-Klopper, this class will give you exclusive insight into our 6-step fail-proof CX framework and upskill you in the latest CX tools, techniques, and trends.
Far from a dull day out of the office, a highlight of the workshop is the practical journey-mapping exercises which will teach you how to recognise the different touch points in your customers' interaction with your product or services. There are often hundreds of touchpoints involved in your customer's journey, and we promise many ‘aha’ moments as you identify touch points you have never before considered.
To reap the most benefit, sending a cross-functional team will ensure everyone is on the same CX page.

“The class was very engaging, and I loved the speakers. I also learned a lot about journey mapping.”

“Content was innovative and relevant. Presenters were on their game. Guest speakers were well polished and the content relevant and insightful.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed putting what we learnt into practice, seeing and experiencing the journey from a customer's perspective.”
