Who Writes YOUR Words? – Tip #29

Steve DiGioia

Too many businesses continue to offer a workplace that leaves little room for the employee’s personality to shine through. They micromanage the heck out of each service step and expect their minions to follow the path without exceptions. Who Writes YOUR Words?

Miro and SuiteCX: Collaboration in the time of COVID

SuiteCX

I love whiteboards. Like, in an inordinately needy way. If I am noodling on something, either alone or with my team, it’s always “Let’s go to the whiteboard” to sketch, to scribble, to brainstorm. When the pandemic hit and we were all forced to work from home, the pain was real. Zoom brainstorming is simply not a thing. Some people (ahem, yes, myself included) bought whiteboards and dry erase pens on Amazon.

Myra Golden

I helped a claims team shave 83 seconds off of talk time. And that’s a big deal. I started by listening to a random sample of calls, hunting for the precise areas where agents lost control of calls. Turns out, it was the end of the call where they lost control. It didn’t take long to solve this call control problem. I took the questions customers would ask at the end of the call and coached agents to proactively answer THOSE questions before customers had a chance to ask.
