Call Center Management Certification Training Workshop Agenda:
- Organizational Leadership
- Human Resources
- Quality Monitoring and Coaching
- Customer Satisfaction
- The Basics of Call Center Workforce Management
- Call Center IT Management
- Knowledge Management
- Caller Self-Service
- Analytics & Reporting
- Benchmarking
To begin, we focus on the importance of Leadership and sharing the mission and vision of the call center. We review all aspects of agent management from best practices in screening, on-boarding, training and ongoing management of our most important resource.
Next, we concentrate on all of the day-to-day management issues. What are the high performing call centers doing to improve their quality assessment processes to drive customer satisfaction? In the Customer Satisfaction module, we discuss the multiple ways to measure, analyze and use the caller satisfaction finding. Then, our favorite topic: What do we do with forecasts, adherence and schedules? How do we find the solutions that meet the needs of the business and the work-life balance of our agents while still being able to meet our service goals?
Next, we discuss the support tools and technologies we use in the call center and that our customers are using to access us and information in the way and at the time they want.
Finally we discuss: "How do we measure and report our successes, progress and failures?" So how do we know if we are succeeding or failing? One part of the answer is to develop a benchmarking process. How do we decide which type of benchmarking is right for our organization?
Benchmarking Separates us From the Competition
One of the main things that separates our call center training from others is that we use benchmarking to demonstrate our best practices and training. BenchmarkPortal has the world’s largest database of call center metrics and all of our students participate in our call center benchmarking survey as part of this course. This Complimentary Call Center Benchmarking Report and Web-ex Style Presentation of Your Benchmarking Results provides your company with a snapshot of your call center vs. industry peers.
- Benchmarking measures how well your organization is currently performing compared to your competitors and other top organizations in North America.
- Identify the KPI's in your call center and learn how you can improve the company's bottom line.
- Comparisons indicate competitive strengths and weaknesses, and help to overcome the typical barriers to change.
- You can further magnify performance gaps by calculating the dollar value of poor performance and create a higher ROI.
