The world of customer service and support still lacks the depth of respect that it deserves, it’s improving each year, but it’s still a struggle to prove that the contact center is more than a black hole. Fulfillment operations where upselling is a routine part of the contact center business has an easier time making a case that they matter to the bottom line of the business. All other types of contact centers have to show their value almost every day.

Metrics
Statisticians have estimated that in a lifetime of 70 years, the average person spends at least three years waiting. Waiting is an inevitable and even necessary aspect of human life. We wait in line at the grocery store, for red lights to turn green, and for movie trailers to finally stop so we can see the movie we paid to see.

Metrics
In today's care environment, everyone is talking about the "metrics that matter." But what exactly are those metrics? Ask any operational manager and you're likely to get a different response. Some feel that first call resolution (FCR) and average handle time (AHT) are all you need; others think Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer satisfaction (CSAT) are most important. And I agree … mostly. The tricky part with any metric is moving it in the right direction

Tourists…you know who they are. Your colleagues from other departments who stroll through your center, are copied on your reports and always have an opinion on how to improve service levels…even though they have never handled an irate customer call, or interviewed 57 CSR applicants in a single day.
