Contact Center Training_released 03/17

Contact CenterWouldn’t it be nice If you ever called a business and the call was picked up in less than 2 rings with a friendly voice answering and taking care of your need without having gone through the voice mail system nor being routing to different departments….Well, here’s what a well-trained contact center can do for your business.
For many people, the term Contact Center relates to sales calls and telemarketers.  There are so many avenues that a contact center can be of assistance within a company that do not pertain to sales calls.  Customers want a well-educated agent when they contact a business. They want to know that the person answering their questions knows what they are talking about. Training your staff, and giving them the information that is needed to effectively assist your customer base is paramount.
A contact center (also referred to as a customer interaction center or e-contact center) can provide customer support, information technology support, and much more.  The key to having a great customer experience using a contact center is in the training.   A well-trained contact center can be the difference between gaining more customers and losing customers. With our Contact Center Training workshop your participants will gain the knowledge to provide a great customer experience. They will develop skills on how to deal with difficult costumers, build rapport, and great listening skills. All of these skills combined will provide an increase in overall customer satisfaction and a source to sustained competitive advantage to your organization.
