Quality Frameworks for Contact Centres (September 2023)

There is certainly no shortage of metrics available to measure quantitative performance in a contact centre – from the number of phone calls, wait times, Average Handle Time, adherence, occupancy, and so on there are literally hundreds of different metrics to choose from.

But when it comes to measuring quality in the contact centre, it’s where things really get tough.

There is no ‘off-the-shelf program you can purchase and there is no magic silver bullet in magically fixing all your quality issues in a contact centre.

The Quality Framework for Contact Centres September 2023 training course is completely agnostic and is not aligned with any technology vendors or consulting businesses trying to push their own agenda. It’s built on solid foundations of over 30 years of experience in global best-practice quality assurance programs in contact centres.

Can you answer these questions?

What is the standard greeting? Is a scoring mechanism of 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 better? Are you trying to achieve a fast and efficient service or provide a friendly service? What does good sound like? If you don’t ID the customer, is that an automatic fail? Should you ask if there is anything else you can do to assist at the end of a call? How do we improve the quality of our customer service?

Having a robust QA framework for your Contact Centre is the answer to all these questions and so much more!

The course is delivered by global expert Daniel Ord and with an average review rating of 4.9/5 over the past 5 years, you can be assured it’s a course that provides maximum value!
