Who should do this course?
The May 2021 Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course will benefit anyone who wants to understand the fundamentals that apply to all inbound contact centres including roles such as:
- An existing Team Leader who is preparing to move into a more senior role.
- An existing contact centre manager who is looking to learn global best-practice operations and/or who was never taught any formal contact centre management skills.

16 Hours of Live, Facilitated Learning delivered via 4 x 4-Hour sessions:
We’ve adapted what used to be our classroom-based course into 4 x 4-hour modules delivered across four days to maximise learning effectiveness.
Module 1: Begin at the Beginning – Customer Wait Time
For the Contact Centre to achieve Customer, Employee & Organisational goals requires a masterly level understanding of Service Level, Response Time and associated Wait Time metrics.
We share the practices that matter – and the ones that don’t. Along with Service Level Recovery plans, interpreting Readerboard data and improving queue management in real-time.
Module 2: Measuring Contact Centre Success
What is ‘efficiency’ in a Contact Centre? Setting & measuring the right KPIs for different job roles is a senior management responsibility. Because when you get it right – you get great performance.
When it’s not right – or based on misaligned understanding of how Contact Centres really work – you get barriers to performance.
And we share our popular Agent & Team Leader P, Q & A performance system – so easy to understand and explain it helps transform Contact Centre performance almost immediately.
Module 3: Forecasting Practices
Healthy Workforce Management practices are foundational to Centre success. While not everyone needs to ‘do’ WFM, everyone needs to understand what is involved and how they contribute to success.
Time Series Forecasting, Bottoms Up Forecasting, Blending in Judgement – we cover the essentials so everyone can do their part when it comes to WFM.
Module 4: Contact Centre University
If there were a Contact Centre University, these topics would be included in the curriculum – the Immutable Laws, the role & use of Erlang C, Shrinkage, using the Response Time Formula and of course the right way to budget Contact Centre Labour.
You’ll gain a solid understanding of how to articulate the Contact Centre complexities to both senior management and your own Team Members.
