CX leaders always talk about how people are their #1 asset.
You probably say much the same kind of thing ... how your contact centre team represents your brand, how each day they go above and beyond to serve your customers. And you mean it.
Yet at the same time you’re also busy prioritising digital transformation, and looking for ways to improve efficiency and customer engagement by accelerating the adoption of automation and AI technologies.
These initiatives have proved great at automating simple processes and fielding routine customer questions. However, this shift is also fundamentally changing the nature of today’s contact centre advisor role.
Instead of handling a mix of interactions throughout a typical day, your contact centre team is being left to field only the more complex, urgent and emotional customer journeys. And this sustained workload is placing huge pressures on your advisors.
There’s a real risk that you could be leaving your people behind
As an industry we manage advisor performance at every available opportunity – but it's rare that we actually monitor advisor wellbeing. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that so many advisors end up frustrated in their roles. Ever wondered why so many of your contact centre advisors leave each year? Ever worked out just how much this sustained attrition is costing your business? Ever thought that you could be making the advisor role much more difficult than it should be?
That’s why our new eBook focuses on Human Service, suggesting that it’s time for us to make sure we’re all supporting contact centre teams with the technology and solutions they need to deliver the kind of experiences customers increasingly expect. Sabio’s Human Service eBook outline the benefits that can come from reaching inwards into the contact centre – applying the same powerful technologies that you’re already using to support customer journeys.
