Provide as much specific detail as possible to help showcase why your current contact center environment needs an update and why you’d benefit from a makeover. It would help to include quantitative metrics or anecdotal stories that paint the picture of the challenges you, your agents, and your customers face. Here are two examples of what we are looking for:

Written submission from an agent:
At my call center, we have this old software that doesn’t allow us to change our schedules. The chatbot is useless. I spend half my day activating credit cards. Can’t a bot handle that? And I spend the other half training 50 remote agents in Microsoft Teams calls because they don’t have access to the training modules. And it’s daily because our call center has a revolving door. People get sick of working at a place that makes them do tedious things like checking bank balances and credit card activations. Customers want to do that stuff themselves anyway. This place really needs a digital makeover.  

Written submission from a call center manager:
I manage the call center, and my biggest problem is attrition. We have 150 agents, mostly remote workers after Covid. If they’re not happy, they can get a job anywhere. My best agents are leaving so they can work somewhere that has the latest and greatest technology. They want a chatbot that handles grunt work and a knowledge management system that actually lets customers find answers by themselves. It’s frustrating for agents and customers to find anything in our knowledge base. We need a digital makeover, so I can improve retention and hit our CX goals this year.
