The current situation is forcing customer service to its knees and retailers must quickly develop new solutions to ensure that customer contact continues to be maintained. After all, by no means all providers are geared to home office. Online enquiries and purchases, on the other hand, are rising sharply right now and fast, available support is extremely relevant for a good customer experience and sales transactions.
In this 30-minute webinar, ECC Cologne and GUURU will discuss what is particularly important now and how, for example, the combination of AI and human support in customer service can help dealers in the current situation.

Adapting Standards & Skills for Fitness Professionals Post-C19-Shutdown
EuropeActive
Recording
The impact of Covid-19 has been felt across the fitness and physical activity sector. Nowhere is this truer than amongst those fitness instructors and trainers employed in our clubs and working independently. Many operators have been keen to support their employees financially and many have been furloughed. Trainers have made the transition to online services while others have sadly been unable or unprepared to make this transition.
But as we begin to see a loosening of restrictions and an impetus toward reopening, we must ask ourselves how the role of fitness professionals will have shifted in the ‘new normal’. What knowledge, skills and competencies will be required of those working in clubs anxious to reinvigorate themselves but bound by considerations of controlled access, safe distancing and hygiene protocols.
In this first webinar focused on standards and skills we will explore the development of guidelines for fitness professionals and how these guidelines can be incorporate in educational standards across Europe.
Join us on Wednesday at 13:00 CET for an informal get-together as David Stalker, EuropeActive's President, invites Frank van de Ven (Vice President International, Life Fitness), Marco Vonk (MD, Matrix/Johnson Health Tech) and Philip Roesch-Schlanderer (CEO, eGym) to discuss the supplier perspective on the 'new normal'. What is their solution? How do they see change in the coming years?
Having a robust immune system is more important than ever as we are constantly challenged with infections, toxins, trauma, stress and poor nutrition. Understanding and recognizing the problems that we, our families and our clients face when our immune system is not operating optimally will empower you to make some great recommendations.
We will learn about the function of the immune system, how to recognize a problem and how to respond. We will discuss immune fuels and triggers as well as talk about how to rebalance the immune system and support pathways that have been shut down.
This session will teach you everything you need to know on how to restore function to your immune system and empower you to share what you have learned with others.
David Stalker, EuropeActive President, introduces Paul Bedford, the Retention Guru, and Jamie Edwards, Trained Brain & Peak Performance Coach as they share their views on communication with both members and employees in preparation for re-opening.
