Coaching Teams with Simulated Role-Play: A Game-Changer for Contact Centers
In the face of evolving business demands, there exists a pressing need to elevate the coaching capabilities of supervisors. When recognizing the importance of embedding practice into onboarding and coaching in contact centers it becomes clear that a challenge exists: the scarcity of time and resources to engage in daily 1:1 coaching or role-play sessions with every agent in your workforce.
Consider this scenario: the traditional approach to coaching involves labor-intensive role-play sessions run by supervisors who may not be the best coaches. While these sessions can be valuable, the reality of allocating sufficient time and resources to role-play on exactly what the agents needs at the time, every day, presents a significant challenge. A market research report by Procedure Flow shows that programs that require 6 to 12 weeks to train and onboard new agents range from $115,200 to $345,600, accounting for 55% of contact centers.
Furthermore, Screen Steps assures that it typically takes 4-6 months and sometimes longer for reps to be fully proficient. The consequences are profound: Dejected agents attrit, consumers walk, while balance sheets suffer.
Enter the game-changing concept of Automated Role-Play for contact centers. This innovative approach allows agents to engage in realistic, simulated conversations that provide the necessary practice to navigate customer interactions adeptly. This is where SymTrain steps in as a great solution.
