Sales and Customer Service - Leading National Catalog Company
One of the nation's largest lifestyle specialty catalogs and eCommerce company was outsourcing their sales order processing calls to The Connection. Due to our exceptional performance, they began sending us customer service overflow calls during their busy fourth quarter. Since then, we have become the primary customer service call center for the company, handling 80% of their customer service calls, email response, e-commerce and all of their sales order processing for the last five years.

Sales Conversion Training and Quality Assurance:
To increase productivity among our dedicated agents, our team created a bulleted list of five key areas for each agent to target on every call:
| |
 |
Able to locate an order within 30 seconds |
| |
 |
Active listening so the customer does not have to repeat themselves |
| |
 |
System navigation - use less than 30 seconds of hold during the entire call |
| |
 |
Ability to update customer notes using less than 30 seconds of hold or wrap |
| |
 |
Overall AHT of the call - did the rep meet the goal |
To implement, the coaches conduct all monitoring as "side-by-sides" only scoring on these five key areas. After only two days, our productivity increased by 2.5 calls and the agents have consistently met the AHT every day since implementation.
