Customer Service Training and Development
Customer service training in the UK and Ireland, delivered by 25+ regional CX Specialists who know your sector. Workshops that build confidence, sharpen communication and lock in the behaviours that turn one-off transactions into repeat customers.
How do you know your training is actually working?
There’s no shortage of customer service training in the UK. What sets ours apart is training that’s built around your actual business, delivered by someone who knows your sector, and measured properly enough to prove it worked.
Built around your business
Every programme is tailored to your brand, your sector and the situations your team actually handles, delivered by a local CX Specialist who already knows your world.
Measured before and after
We measure how your team performs before training and again afterwards, so you can see what changed rather than hope it did.
Delivered by sector experts
Sessions are engaging and relevant, led by regional CX Specialists who understand your sector and bring real examples into the room.
The basics
What is customer service training, and where does insight6 fit in?
Customer service training equips your team with the skills they need to handle every customer interaction well. From enquiries and complaints to upselling and recovery, the workshops focus on the situations your team actually face, not theory.
At insight6, this sits inside a broader customer experience approach. Building service skills is the foundation, but we go further: looking at how every interaction shapes the way customers feel about your business, and measuring whether the training has changed what they experience. Workshops are tailored to your sector and led by your local CX-Specialist who already knows what great service looks like in your industry.
Tailored to your sector, not a generic curriculum
Delivered in-person, virtually or as a blended programme
Mystery-shop reinforcement to measure whether new behaviours actually changed the customer experienc
Why insight6
Six reasons UK businesses choose insight6 for CX training

Tailored to your culture
We use the CX data from the mystery shopping and client feedback to bring your training alive.

Coaching that develops your people
The specialists will guide you and members of your team to improve the way you work, with one-to-one coaching alongside the group sessions so the learning translates to the floor.
Ambitious but achievable goals

Sessions designed around the work your team actually does
Every programme starts with a conversation about your team and what they’re working towards. The sessions below are common starting points.
“We were very impressed with the impact the customer service training had on the team. It has really benefited the business financially and has helped with staff morale.”
How customer service training works at insight6
Three steps from first conversation to measurable change in how customers are treated.
Discovery
We start with a conversation about your team, your sector, and what you want the training to change. Where it's useful, we'll fold in any customer feedback or measurement data you already have to shape the workshop content.
Delivery
The workshop is built around your team's real situations rather than a stock curriculum. Delivered in-house at your site, virtually, or as a blend, led by your regional CX-Specialist who already knows your sector.
Reinforcement
Mystery shopping after the training measures whether the new behaviours have landed in customer interactions. The same evidence that surfaced the original gap proves the change held.
What does a CX training programme cost?
Every customer experience training programme is different. The right shape depends on your team size, sector, delivery format and whether mystery-shop reinforcement is in scope. Training at insight6 isn't priced by the seat, it's scoped to the work. Start with a discovery call and we'll take it from there.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between customer service training and customer experience training?
They’re often used interchangeably, but they cover different things. Customer service training builds the skills your team need to handle every customer interaction well, from enquiries and complaints through to recovery. Customer experience training takes a wider view, looking at how every interaction shapes how customers feel about your business over time. At insight6, the two work together: service skills are the foundation, but we are always thinking about the broader experience your customers have.

What is customer experience training?
Customer experience training equips your team with the skills and mindset needed to consistently deliver outstanding service. At insight6, we run practical sessions where staff learn to better understand customer needs, communicate effectively and handle real-world challenges with confidence. The training is tailored to your sector and reinforced with mystery-shop data so the behaviours stick.
Is the training accredited?
It is not a formal accreditation. Our training is led by experienced regional CX Specialists, some of whom hold individual professional qualifications such as CCXP and CXPA.
Do you deliver in-person or virtually?
Both. We deliver in-person at your site, fully virtual, or as a blended programme that mixes the two. Most UK clients run their core workshop in-person and use shorter virtual sessions to reinforce behaviours over the following weeks. Your regional CX Specialist will recommend the format that fits your team and shift pattern.
What’s the minimum group size?
We run customer service workshops for teams as small as six and as large as several hundred across multiple sites. For very small teams we’ll often suggest mentoring and coaching alongside, so the manager has the tools to keep reinforcing the work after the trainer leaves.
Can you tailor the training to our brand standards?
Yes. Every customer service training programme is bespoke. We design the curriculum around your brand standards, your tone of voice, your service KPIs and the real situations your team handles every day. Scripts, scenarios and role-plays use your language, not a generic training-provider script.
How do you measure post-training improvement?
With mystery shopping. The same mystery-shop measurement that diagnosed the gap before training is repeated afterwards to prove the fix held. You see the behaviour change in the shop scores, not just on a feedback form. This is the reinforcement loop most off-the-shelf training courses don’t have.
Do you offer follow-up coaching?
Yes. We pair workshops with one-to-one mentoring and coaching for managers and team leads so the behaviours you train in the room get reinforced on the floor. Follow-up sessions can be monthly, quarterly or tied to the cadence of your mystery-shop programme.
How soon can you start?
A 30-minute discovery call usually happens within a few days of enquiry. From there, in-house customer service training can be designed and scheduled within two to four weeks, depending on team size and number of sites. Multi-site rollouts are sequenced with your operations calendar so we don’t pull people off the floor at the wrong time.
