Why Real-Time Guidance?
Post-call analytics can examine what went wrong, but only real-time guidance can fix it before it’s too late.
"I forgot the right thing to say"
Many business leaders view the contact center as a cost center. It’s true, many contact centers miss opportunities to drive revenue. Missed opportunities start with agents. In a 2020 survey of 1,000+ call center agents, agents reported the most common reason they make mistakes is because they forgot the right thing to say.
For years, contact centers have tried to address this by investing in more training and post-call tools that analyze call data. But adding more training doesn’t solve the issue of agents forgetting how to apply this live on a call. And post-call tools only tell you what went wrong after the fact – always leaving you a few steps behind.
The current system is broken
Contact Centers coach, train, and retain agents in a very inefficient way. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
Post-Call Is Too LATE
Post-call analytic tools – like data dashboards, transcripts, and call recordings – evaluate calls after they end. Although they are helpful, they’re not enough. Here’s why.
To put it another way, imagine you are sick and need to choose a doctor. One doctor does a full diagnostic check and puts you on a treatment plan. The other only diagnoses their patients when they make it to the autopsy room. I don’t know about you, but I would choose the one who can treat me before it’s too late. Dramatic? Yes. But you get the point.
Post-Call
- Detects mistakes after reps lose deals
- Burden is on managers to change behaviors
- Coaching happens when managers listen to calls ~2% of the time
Real-Time
- Prevents mistakes before they happen
- Improves reps’ behaviors live on every call
- Coaching happens on 100% of calls
