Frontline employees (aka contact centre agents or call centre agents) represent the organisation to its customers, and how they handle customer contacts can make or break satisfaction, loyalty and efficiencies.
It’s the role of the Supervisor/Team Leader and Quality Assurance (if you are lucky!) to work hard to coach their employees to higher performance levels, maximise efficiencies, and ensure customers receive a great level of customer service.
At the same time, team leaders face challenges in making enough time to coach, dealing with difficult coaching situations, ensuring calibration (everyone scoring the same way), articulately communicating, and trying to uphold the organisation’s standards.
The How to Assess and Coach Contact Centre Agent Performance October 2024 training course addresses the business reasons for coaching and provides practical guidelines for how (and why) you need to make time for coaching, as well as different approaches and techniques to measuring agent performance.
It also teaches how to coach successfully using our proprietary 7-Step Coaching Process, which has been used to train thousands of Team Leaders worldwide, providing your team leaders with the confidence to tackle any coaching situation.
Course attendees are provided with insights and ideas on how to measure individual and Team Performance across both Quality and Productivity dimensions (both are important!), and they’ll leave this course with newfound confidence in how to manage both the ‘easy’ and more ‘challenging’ coaching situations.
The training was very entertaining, engaging and very insightful. Hearing the group, not just the facilitator (Daniel) discuss their thoughts openly, gives perspectives that connects to the focus points of the training. I loved it!
The training brought so much joy and realization, of how much I personally know about the topics discussed and more importantly about how much I do not know.
What comes next, is continuing what I have been doing great, adding and applying the new elements that I have learned and continue to share this experience with the group.
In the How to Assess and Coach Contact Centre agents course, we work through four interrelated modules that build know-how and skills around Agent Coaching:
Module 1 – Team Leader Roles & Responsibilities
What is the job of a Team Leader? Where should their time go? How can we ensure time for coaching?
We answer these important questions and more to help Team Leaders build intention & time into their coaching work.
Module 2 – Monitoring Practices that work
How should we monitor? What’s a monitoring mix? What’s better – side by side or listening to recordings/reading transcripts?
The monitoring mix shouldn’t be left to chance. It’s a thought-out strategy to make sure we’re ‘listening’ to customer conversations effectively.
Module 3 – Calibration and getting on the same page
There’s not much point in coaching frontline employees if every Team Leader has a different opinion about what matters in a call, email or chat.
So, in this module, we discuss the four different ‘levels’ of calibration so that Team Leaders understand how and why they want to work from the same ‘source of truth’ for organisational quality.
Module 4 – Coaching Practices that Work
This is where the rubber meets the road. Now it’s time to meet with and talk to our agents.
How often should we do it? Which method of coaching should we use? What’s the pattern or method that works best?
Your team leaders will be taught the leading practices in coaching specifically in a contact centre environment, providing them with the confidence to handle any coaching situation.
Learning how to coach contact centre agents is one of the most critical elements of a contact centre Team Leader’s job, yet it’s a skill that is often not fully understood and seldom learnt.
The How to Assess and Coach Contact Centre Agent Performance October 2024 training course will provide course attendees with a structured process on how to assess the performance of a contact centre agent and then coach them for improvement.
