A Vision Born from Passion and Frustration
In the bustling business landscape of Kenya, one entrepreneur is making waves by tackling a challenge that many have long overlooked—customer experience (CX). Nick Chege, the founder of CX Masters Africa, is on a mission to transform how businesses interact with their customers, driven by a deep-seated passion and a desire to correct the poor service that often plagues customer interactions.
The inspiration behind CX Masters Africa stems from a duality of emotions: a love for engaging with customers and a frustration with the subpar service that many businesses deliver. This unique blend of passion and dissatisfaction sparked the idea for a company that would not only elevate customer experience standards across Africa but also empower businesses to thrive in a competitive market.

Additionally, CX Masters Africa has launched a recruitment line of business, further enhancing its ability to train and deploy customer-facing staff who are adept at delighting customers.
Navigating Obstacles with Strategic Solutions
However, the journey has not been without challenges. One of the major hurdles CX Masters Africa faced was marketing—specifically, building brand awareness in a crowded marketplace. Nick Chege and his team overcame this obstacle through persistent efforts to promote the importance of customer experience, positioning CX Masters Africa as a thought leader in the field.
Another challenge was overcoming the perception that customer experience consulting was a luxury only large businesses could afford. To counter this, the company consistently engaged in discussions about the value of CX, demonstrating how even small investments in customer experience could lead to significant returns.

This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to giving back to the community and supporting the growth of the broader business ecosystem.
