How to Hire Better Call Center Agents - Every Time!

Guest: David Filwood, Founder & Principal Consultant with TeleSoft Systems While almost everyone can use a telephone, not everyone is cut out to work successfully in a Call Center Environment. Research demonstrates that 65% to 75% of the costs associated with operating a Customer Contact Center are labor costs, and hiring the wrong Call Center Agent is a significant drain on the Operating Budget, on Customer Satisfaction Levels, on Sales Results, and on overall Call Center Team Morale. Finding ways to hire better quality Call Center Agents is consistently placed as a priority as far as the needs and interests of Contact Center Directors are concerned.
