  21. Measures Put In Place Because Everyone Else Does It Understand That Size Makes Call Centers Different

  22. Measures With Holes That Lead to Excuses “Wishful Thinking and Denial” …Look Beyond the 4 Walls

  23. GATEWAY - I Built This Company, I Can Save It – Fortune Magazine Many of these changes hurt more than just morale. They hurt business. For example, one policy put a time limit on customer-service calls; reps who spent more than 13 minutes talking to a customer didn't get their monthly bonuses. As a result, workers began doing just about anything to get customers off the phone: pretending the line wasn't working, hanging up, or often -- at great expense -- sending them new parts or computers. Not surprisingly, Gateway's customer satisfaction rates, once the best in the industry, fell below average. What's more, many customers stopped recommending Gateway to their friends and families; Gateway's referral business -- once 50% of total sales -- fell to about 30%

USAA - Positioning Supervisors for Success with a Call Center Curriculum (From CC Management Review) “Many times, supervisors are promoted from within; we select the best agent to be the next supervisor. They are the leaders of your customer service staff and the “voice” of your company – but have you equipped them with more than a Stephen Covey book? Invest in the future of your company by giving new and upcoming supervisors a thorough understanding of how to run an effective and efficient call center – from communication skills to Erlang C.”

  31. Agents Can’t Make the Connection to the Why Educate Everything About the Driver and the Real Results

  32. Spend a lot of Time “Cleaning-Up” After Others Get Everyone Excited About First Contact Resolution
