I started the paper by describing a scene from Hitchcock’s Rear Window: A man in the semi-distance looking inside the apartment across and the yard below him. 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.

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.
