Call centers are the backbone of many customer service operations. But let’s be honest, keeping your team happy and productive can feel like an uphill battle. High turnover, low morale, and frustrated customers – sound familiar?

In episode we interview Dave D’Arcy, Managing Director of Laughing Leadership, who has over 30+ years designing and managing call centers for companies like Sky, Vodafone, Vonage, and RingCentral. We delve into the secrets of building a high-performing call center team. From prioritizing agent experience to embracing new AI tech, this video offers actionable advice to elevate your call center from just functional to fantastic.

Here are some key takeaways

Employee experience is key to customer experience. Happy staff lead to happy customers.

AI is a powerful tool to enhance agent performance. It can automate tasks and provide real-time support, but it won’t replace human agents.

Start small and focus on a specific goal when implementing AI. Identify a process that you want to improve and find an AI solution that can help.

Listen to your team members and empower them to make decisions. This will boost morale and improve overall call center performance.
