Disaster Recovery
Customer Service
Strategy
Becoming the go-to contact for catastrophe prevention and recovery... An airliner skids off the runway—how can the passengers’ friends and family know if they were safely evacuated? A software manufacturer releases a new version of a product, only to discover a serious problem that caused personal information to be available to hackers and online scam artists. A popular children’s toy was made with lead paint, and consumers need to be warned and the product recalled as soon as possible.

Self Service
Strategy
We recently did a webinar on Self Service Contact Centers. But rather than give reasons or explanations for investing in such services, we centered on how to get the most out of the experience once you have selected one. Kind of like those “what to expect when you are expecting” guidebooks you see for people who are going to have a baby. We are going to assume you are already pregnant, so to speak, or else you wouldn’t pick up the book. And now we can tell you some of the things you should look out for to get the best and avoid the risks of the proposition.

There’s a vast difference between full potential and full utilization. In virtually every organization with which I’ve worked, contact centers have been in the former rather than that latter category.

Here’s the thing about coaching…anyone can execute the function. Anyone can make an employee go through the motions. Anyone can stand back to look upon mediocre results and proclaim a superior achievement. That’s what anyone can do.
