As far as EQ goes - look for boosting the vocal fundamentals (~2K on the top and ~200 or a bit higher for the bottom). Roll off (shelving) starting at 80hz up to as high as 100hz (especially if there is a lot of ambient room). I like to keep the higher freqs, but, if it helps, a similar roll off very high (12K +) might help dependent on the noise in the track.
For a complete dialogue chain, use a de-esser, limiter, eq, then compressor. Not sure if you have it, but single ended noise reduction can help as well (I don't know the Majix product, but this is what you will have to experiment with). Usually with these products, less is more - don't go for total, large effect noise reduction, but just go for some. Use it incrementally, there is definitely diminishing returns with noise reduction.
Final dialogue that pops is a process, or combination of what I suggest above rather than one swipe with something. Do a version with minor noise reduction then try the mastering techniques of de-ess, limit, eq, compress and finally level experimenting until you move closer to a goal. De-ess, to take off the very sharp s's or sillibant attacks, limit to get the dynamic range more in control, eq for correction and sonic quality, compress lightly at the end to glue it together. Each process only if needed and as sparingly as possible. Also, editorial (if possible) to take out ticks, mic hits, clothing rubs, etc. as well as smoothing noise fills can be the most powerful tool even before you start mastering.
