A proven step-by-step online course to create a world-class customer experience for your company
Have you ever wondered how companies like Amazon, Disney and Apple are able to grow profitable revenue, beat their competition and become recognizable brand names?
I can tell you that it didn’t happen by accident.
These customer obsessed companies were once humble and ambitious operations, maybe like yours today, not the one’s we now admire. Let’s remember that Amazon rose from humble beginnings operating out of a garage in Seattle, Washington and is now worth 100’s of billions of dollars.
What is the common theme among customer-focused companies? Why do some succeed and others fall short? I can tell you...
It’s because their efforts are intentional and they invested to improve their customer experience.
They don’t simply advocate having greater service or talk about it in their lunchrooms,
They support it by methodically creating systems to produce the outcome they desire and continuously invest in their companies education.
That outcome of their efforts is loyal customers who purchase more products and services, leave positive online reviews and testimonials and spread positive word of mouth.
This helps them grow their business year over year and beat their competition!
What will a focus on customer experience do for your company?
- It will give you a competitive advantage over your competitors
- Customers will spend more and more frequently
- Earn more referral based business
- Customers will become more profitable
- Your existing customers will recognize you as an admired brand
- Your employees will be happier
Sounds too good to be true?
Remember the three companies I just mentioned? Amazon, Disney and Apple have all experienced this. It’s not a coincidence. It’s their customer experience that created this success, not hardcore sales teams or glamourous marketing plans.
Nearly ten years ago I was in the same situation you may be in today.
I knew customer experience was important and that it had proven to grow companies.
I wanted to become a customer experience expert
I wanted to learn proven strategies and contribute to the success of my company.
I wanted to share the education I had acquired with my colleagues and employees so they could help the company grow too
But, there were roadblocks in acquiring customer experience education.
Customer experience conferences were too expensive, they cost $1000’s to attend (if you sum up the cost of admission, travel and accommodations).
Reading blogs, case studies and research papers were useful but typically only gave me statistics and things to think about. Two things that didn’t bring me closer to my goal of acquiring “use today” strategies.
Books were great too, but, again, I needed more than just words on paper.
Webinars were fun and valuable but they were over in an hour and so was the education.
I needed something tangible and interactive that outlined a proven step-by-step model. Something I could follow, at my own pace, and revert back to when I needed it again. I needed something that would help me immediately and provide long-term success.

What's inside Experience Academy?
I’ve spent thousands of hours studying the most customer-centric companies around the world – and I’ve worked with many of them. It’s a career path that few others pursue, but it’s one that’s taught me first-hand that nothing brings more value to a business than a world-class customer experience.
Time and again I’ve seen struggling businesses recover by shifting their priorities and putting their customers first.
And now I want to teach you how.
With Experience Academy, I’ve been able to distill what I know into six, easy-to-follow modules of self-paced learning.
This is the same stuff I share with the big guys – but by offering it online, I’m able to make it so affordable that everyone can benefit.
Why? I’m passionate about customer experience – like few other people you’ll meet. And I believe that by sharing what I know with as many people as I can, together we can revolutionize the way business is done.

Here’s a description of each module.
Module 1: Hiring for Success
Before you start building processes to make your customers loyal, you must first methodically learn how to immediately identify employees who know exactly how to deliver a world-class customer experience.

Balbina Knight

“ Experience Academy really does give you a process to follow that has clearly been designed through experience and passion. You can read Michel's bio and see that he's credible by the companies who have hired him, but it's not until you enroll in the course that you truly realize that he's a practitioner, an expert, and someone that has done this before. I believe that his recommended strategies to improve your customer experience and employee engagement will work for any company. ”
Bryan Nikkel
Production Manager, Market One Media Group
“ The education in Module 1 of Experience Academy alone pays for the cost of enrolling. The job description template has helped us attract great candidates and the interview questions Michel recommends asking allow us to immediately identify who will be able to deliver amazing customer service and who will not. This module has saved us $1000s by making better hiring decisions. Throughout each module I found myself taking pages of notes as new ideas came to me - ones that I will be implementing immediately. ”

“ Prior to joining Experience Academy I was actively searching for customer experience education for two months with little success. After listening to a podcast Michel was being interviewed on I was immediately drawn to his expertise and was happy to hear he offered an affordable course. What I appreciate the most about Experience Academy is the structure of the education throughout each module. Michel's recommended strategies are presented in a simple fashion which allows members to retain the knowledge and start implementing these new programs immediately. Kudos to the Experience Academy team. ”

“ I signed up for Experience Academy knowing that I was enrolling in a course that would help me learn how to improve my company's customer experience. What I didn't expect was that I was going to be given everything I needed to actually do it!
