Where to invest in CX training this year

Which courses or certifications have genuinely improved customer outcomes for your ecommerce teams? I’m mapping a Q1 plan for our 18-person CX org and torn between GA4/SQL fundamentals and deeper journey mapping + VoC practice. Looking for programs with clear time commitments that translated into faster resolution, fewer contacts, or higher CSAT — real wins, not just badges.

Same here — Suricata flagged “suspicious beaconing” around 09:13 and it was Slack keepalives via our proxy. I fixed it by adding a threshold on that SID scoped to tls.sni *.slack.com and the proxy’s egress IPs so it only alerts once an hour. If your proxy terminates TLS, match on http.host for slack.com or tag those flows in your SIEM to avoid another hunt.
