Course Overview

This Call Center training workshop is uniquely focused on performance challenges in call centers, including customer care, adherence to schedule, stress and motivation.

As a participant, you will clarify your role as a coach, practice delivering coaching, discuss ways to get the greatest long-term results out of your coaching efforts and learn how to deliver feedback in the most difficult of coaching situations.

Most best performing call center agents become coaches by default while assisting their peers. They eventually advance to be team leaders and supervisors with coaching as one of their many responsibilities. They accomplish this task without receiving any formal training on the fundamental principles of effective coaching. If this describes you, are you ready to go to the next level? If yes, then this training course is made for you.

Whether you have a well-defined quality assurance program or have just begun to implement a performance improvement culture, you will benefit from the chance to learn a coaching process that was built for the specific challenges of call centers. While practicing and refining your coaching skills, you'll get immediate feedback from the instructor and your peers on how to improve your ability to coach agents to success.

You'll learn how to:

  • Overcome common coaching challenges such as not enough time, a cookie cutter approach and coaching to the score

  • Navigate through some of the most difficult coaching situations, such as disagreement, resisting change and lack of motivation

  • Use the SAFE coaching model to stay focused on results
  • Reinforce desirable behaviors through praise

You'll also improve your skills as you:

  • Create focused questions that promote critical thinking
  • Adapt your coaching style to individual agent styles
  • Apply your coaching skills to the entire performance equation, including absenteeism, achieving metrics and employee engagement

  • Determine your coaching return on investment

If you've already participated in our Monitoring and Coaching course, the Call Center Coaching workshop will supplement your introduction to the SAFE model with much more time to practice and explore the stickiest of coaching challenges.

Invest to enhance your coaching skills and witness the impact as customer satisfaction increases, employee turnover declines, and business results improve.
