seminars on
service quality

Lombaterun runs focused online seminars where customer service professionals work through real service breakdowns, scripted response analysis, and team escalation structures. Each session is capped at 18 participants so discussion stays substantive rather than performative.

When the caller won't calm down

This 3-hour session works through 6 real call transcripts where de-escalation failed at the handoff point. Participants rewrite 2 of the transcripts live and discuss what changed the outcome. Suitable for agents who have at least 6 months of frontline experience.

Complaint handling in writing

Email and chat responses carry different risks than voice. A 4-hour workshop covering tone calibration, response time expectations, and how phrasing affects perceived accountability. Participants bring 2 of their own real cases for group review — anonymised before the session.

Internal escalation that actually works

Focused on team leads and supervisors. A 3.5-hour session mapping where escalation paths break down — most often at step 2 when ownership gets diffused. Includes a working exercise where teams redesign their current escalation flowchart and present to the group.

Session facilitators

Each facilitator has worked in customer service operations directly — not as consultants observing from outside. The sessions draw on what actually happened in their teams, including the cases that went badly. Their combined experience across contact centres, retail service, and B2B account management spans over 28 years.

What makes these sessions different

Online seminars often default to slide decks and passive listening. Lombaterun sessions are built around participant material — cases that participants bring, scripts they actually use, and problems from their own teams. The facilitator role is to structure the discussion, not fill the time. Most participants report that the group exchange is where the useful thinking happens, not the prepared content.

18

Max participants

Small enough that every person contributes at least once per session. Large enough to have varied experience in the room.

6

Real cases per session

Each session works from real anonymised transcripts or situations — not fabricated training scenarios built to prove a point.

28+

Years combined

Facilitated by people who have managed service teams directly. The experience in the room is practical, not theoretical.

3

Sessions this summer

Three distinct topics across June, July, and August — each one standalone. You can attend 1 or all 3 depending on what your team needs right now.
