CustomersFirst De-Escalation Training is for any organization that wants to empower their team with the effective strategies to handle challenging interactions to ensure customer satisfaction and protect their company’s reputation.
Without Effective De-Escalation Training, Employees Struggle
- Dealing with stressful escalations not only leads to dissatisfied customers but also strains the entire team, diverting time from other crucial tasks.
- Poorly managed escalations reflect negatively on our department and the company, making it difficult to maintain a positive image and retain customers.
- Constantly facing upset, angry, or rude customers can be draining and demotivating for your team, and result in low morale, burnout, and high turnover.
Improving Your Service Can Have Dramatic Results on Your Business
- 84% of companies reported an increase in their revenue.
- Businesses saw a revenue increase of 4-8% above their market.
- Increasing customer retention rates by just 5% increased profits by 25% to 95%.

About CustomersFirst Academy
Hey there! I’m Viktoriya, the CEO of CustomersFirst Academy.
For over 15 years, I’ve been immersed in the world of customer service – from leading award-winning service teams to helping scrappy startups grow into million-dollar organizations.
Too often, I find that employees simply don’t have the effective frameworks and confidence needed to handle any customer interaction that comes their way. As a result, managers end up spending more time dealing with escalations and micromanaging, instead of being able to trust their team to handle things.
That’s how CustomersFirst Academy was born. Our practical, online customer service training courses are designed by industry experts with real-world experience running successful service teams. We’ve already used our proven blueprint to help to onboard and upskill over 53,000 professionals worldwide.
Our goal is to give your employees the tools and confidence they need to excel at any customer interaction. By closing that skills gap, we can not only make your team stronger, but also ensure your customers receive the best service possible!
Who This Course is for:
- Forward-thinking organizations that understand the crucial role customer service plays in their team's success and take proactive steps to improve
- Businesses that prioritize their customers and value continuous learning and strive to empower their employees with the skills and confidence to deliver exceptional service.
- Customer-facing professionals in any industry who are driven to grow their careers, expand their skills, and create memorable experiences for their clients.
Who This Course is NOT for:
- Businesses that overlook the importance of customer satisfaction and fail to recognize the benefits of empowering their employees through customer service training.
- Organizations that believe customer service is common sense and that everyone knows strategies for handling challenging interactions, building relationships, and communicating with empathy.
- Customer-facing professionals who don't see room for improvement in their customer service skills and don't recognize the value of professional development.
Delivering high-quality, up-to-date content is our top priority. Our training is developed with industry experts to address the evolving needs of customer service. The content is regularly reviewed and revised to reflect the latest best practices and trends. We also have rigorous quality assurance, including peer reviews, testing, and learner feedback to ensure the training meets the mark. You can trust your team is getting practical, relevant knowledge they can apply.
Online training is a smart choice for several reasons. While there’s an initial cost, you’ll save money in the long run by avoiding travel, venue, and instructor fees. Plus, it’s flexible and won’t disrupt your team’s workflow. This means better productivity and a stronger return on investment. And with online training, you’ll get lifetime access to resources for ongoing learning and skill enhancement. When you consider the benefits for employee development, customer experience, and your bottom line, the upfront cost is definitely worth it.
Great question! Keeping track of learner progress is really important. That’s why we offer real-time progress reports. These reports let you see how each employee is doing, step in if someone needs help, and make sure everyone is reaching their goals. With these data-driven insights, you can be sure that your online training is making a real difference for your organization.
Our training is designed to keep your team engaged and excited to learn. We use bite-sized “micro-learning” lectures balanced with multimedia, real examples, and real-life scenarios to make the material relatable. The key is the hands-on practice – employees put skills to the test through quizzes, reflection exercises, and activities. We track progress to identify gaps and award certificates to showcase achievements. This comprehensive, learner-centric approach ensures your employees stay motivated to develop their customer service superpowers.
Signing up for our training is simple! You have two options: you can sign up online for instant access, or you can contact us to enroll your whole team, which can be done within 24 hours. All learners need is an internet connection to start learning. They’ll receive a welcome email with login instructions and can access the learning materials right away!
