Improving call center performance extends beyond quantitative improvements such as making or answering more calls, closing more sales, and resolving more support issues. Companies must also consider qualitative improvements that make a positive impact on customer experience. Enhancing customer interactions with the company is an effective way to improve customer experience and secure repeat customers.
For example, a company wants to improve the customer service skills of their support agents to increase customer satisfaction. They can do this by recording the calls for quality assurance. Then can then evaluate the recorded calls to identify coaching opportunities.
Nextiva Call Recording used in conjunction with Nextiva Voice Analytics allows businesses to capture and store calls, then review and evaluate them with call recording surveys so they can analyze the data to gain insight for implementing change.
Use Nextiva Voice Analytics to review and evaluate call recordings.
