Books

The site audit or assessment of a call center is a comprehensive evaluation of every functional element of a call center including the people, hardware, software, standards, workflow processes, procedures, policies, operations and, of course, customer service.  If you are an internal professional or external consultant, this book will walk you through the team requirements and tools to perform an on-site audit of a call center.

Benchmarking can be effective at every level within your organization.  But, today's companies have an ever increasing amount of data available to them, and it can be very difficult to see the forest for the trees.  This little book focuses on how to selectively choose areas within your call center that, through benchmarking, you can maintain your call center's competitive advantage in your industry.

When optimizing call center performance, using Erlang tables to balance scheduling and service level is just the tip of the iceberg. What tools are available to help you determine when to consolidate multiple call centers?  Or how to handle call overflow?  Or how to respond to web-based inquiries and their impact on inbound call volumes?  The next step beyond running calculations is running simulations.  This book will show you what it's all about.

This book will help you understand what benchmarking is, how it benefits the organization, and the role the help desk plays in the process.
