5 Contact Center Success Strategies for Channels in 2021
Date | Available On Demand |
Duration | 1 Hour |
In these pandemic times, contact centers have never faced more difficult challenges, especially around supporting home-based agents with premises-based systems. While many contact center leaders feel they have limited options, they actually have many, but may not be sure where to turn. As customer expectations keep rising, contact centers need a plan, and channels are ideally-positioned to be their trusted partners for adopting to new and better technologies.
This webinar will outline five strategies that channels can help contact centers execute on, including:
- Why cloud migration is the driver for providing a great digital customer experience
- Managing home-based agents to keep them engaged and customer-focused
- Identifying use cases for video, both inside the contact and with end customers
- Better managing customer expectations during COVID-19
Noted contact center analyst Jon Arnold will explain the latest industry trends driving these strategies, and he’ll be joined by Valur Svansson, Global Sr. Director, Contact Center, Ex & Cx Optimisation at Lifesize to further discuss why this opportunity is so attractive and timely for channels.
