Incorporating a call center into your business services is really only as successful as the people that you utilize to pull it off. As you look into a CRM contact center, here are some qualities to aim for in a good contact center call agent. Knowledgeable Your new agents may not need to begin as experts, but they should show a passion for knowledge and understanding. Not only is a pursuit of knowledge good and helpful, but knowledge retention concerning goods and services provided, as well as company policies, will only serve to make the agent that much more helpful and successful at advising customers. Organizational If an individual is successful at managing information, that’s half the battle. Providing an adequate CRM system should help with this organization, allowing access to previous notes on a client as well as a way to provide further updates to their situation within the database. Empathetic Friendliness and general pleasantness are a huge plus for this role in making customers and clients feel welcome and accepted in the conversation. Being able to demonstrate empathy and identify with a struggle or issue of the client is huge in managing conflict resolution and building customer loyalty out of a difficult situation. Level Under Pressure If a situation arises in which the customer or client is not being reasonable, or making aggressive, emotionalized demands, it can be a strain for a person to remain calm and rational with them. However, this behavior is exactly what you want out of your call center agents. This level, collected mindset not only allows for better conflict resolution and customer service experiences, but it paints a better picture of who your company is for the public. Great Communicator Anyone can operate a phone. Not everyone can communicate in a way that is friendly, welcoming, and has a clear direction. Great communicators know how to get the right information out of their customers in order to help them arrive at the best solutions. One of the biggest assets to being a great communicator is being an active listener. Time Management In a call center setting, clients may be trying to patch their way through incessantly as the day goes on. If the specialist is not timely in those calls, they could end up without a moment to breathe between calls because people get stuck waiting on hold in an electronic queue. As you consider the types of individuals you want for your CRM contact center, keep these qualities in mind.
