Business Issue

The retail chain of a prominent telecommunication firm in Canada faced critical challenges that undermined its growth and customer loyalty. Low Net Promoter Scores (NPS), a 50% churn rate, and transactional customer relationships indicated a broken customer experience model. There was no clear definition of the desired customer experience, and efforts were hindered by limited leadership buy-in, lack of accountability, and organizational misalignment.

With a new CEO introducing shifting priorities, the firm needed to urgently realign its culture and strategy to rebuild trust, improve retention, and deliver differentiated value in an increasingly experience-driven market.

Solution Summary

To address low NPS, high customer churn, and a lack of leadership engagement, Wilson Learning partnered with the organization to design a scalable, sustainable development strategy focused on elevating customer experience and workforce performance.

The engagement began with a comprehensive Needs Analysis to assess the current state, identify root causes, and define skill and leadership gaps. This led to the creation of a Curriculum Blueprint outlining career-aligned learning paths, clear development milestones, and long-term sustainment strategies.

Key components of the solution included:

  • Learning Journey: A structured learning journey—from onboarding to mastery—covering core sales methodology, field reinforcement, service excellence, and advanced skills development.
  • Customized Coaching Program: Designed to build leadership accountability and support real-time performance improvement.
  • Train-the-Trainer Implementation: Enabled internal scalability and long-term ownership.
  • Content Optimization: Leveraged a blend of existing and custom-developed content for rapid, targeted deployment.

The approach aligned with broader organizational goals to invest in people, evolve the workforce, and retain top talent. A custom impact evaluation framework was built to measure behavior change, proficiency growth, and tangible business results, ensuring the solution drove lasting value at every level.

I took time with a customer to ask personal questions, ask about their needs…It paid off because I got to know the customer, and I got her to want our services.
