Example Case Study: V&A Waterfront – CX & Sales Training

Leadership & Customer Experience Excellence

Challenge:

A mystery shopper survey revealed that stores with higher customer experience (CX) scores also outperformed in revenue. However, tenant teams lacked a consistent, high-impact approach to CX and sales integration.

Solution:

Terbigen delivered a 3-week workshop series to shift teams from service delivery to experience-driven sales. Built on our ACED framework (Active Listening, Clearly Explain, Educate, Diligent Action), the program focused on:

  1. Human-Centred Service – Strengthened empathy, active listening, and respectful communication

  2. Ambience & Challenge Management – Tackled conflict de-escalation, complaint handling, and smart visual merchandising

  3. Strategic Sales Alignment – Connected CX with revenue goals through upselling, value alignment, and performance tracking

Why It Worked:


Real-world role plays and feedback
Tied to actual survey results
Reinforced V&A brand values while boosting accountability

Results:

Enhanced sales confidence, stronger team alignment, and a measurable uplift in both experience and revenue.
