From the activities taking place in his view, the character develops a narrative piecing together clues made of body language and action.

After-call surveys give you rich insights into your call center’s day-to-day operations. They’re kind of like customer satisfaction surveys, except they’re sent to a customer immediately after an agent-customer interaction. Why does the immediate timing matter? There’s something special about the after-call survey’s authenticity. Think of freshly baked chocolate cookies right out of the oven.

Conversational CRM is the new way businesses are managing their customer relationships, relying on new channels (like web and mobile messaging), new technologies (like AI that goes beyond the buzz) and new methods of staying on top of conversations (like fresh interfaces designed for agents). Here’s the thing: Customers are people, and people don’t want to be treated like a ticket or a sale just because they’re talking to brands.

Why Video is the Untapped Jewel to Greatly Enhance Your Customers’ Experience. We created this newsletter in partnership with Streem. Have you ever used the word “doohickey” or “thingymajig” in a call with a contact center? I have. I didn’t know what the whatchamacallit was, but I knew it wasn’t working. Unfortunately, the expert at the contact center didn’t know what the doodad I described was either, so we were at an impasse.

Reducing call center shrinkage sounds like a no-brainer. If you schedule enough staff, give them the tools to do their job, and ensure they stick to a schedule, your problem is solved, right? Not so fast. For starters, everyone knows call center agents work very hard — but no one can be at their desk 24/7. At any given moment, your scheduled staff may be attending a meeting, taking a break, or arriving late because their kid missed the bus and they had to drive them to school.
