Customer Management Practice
Back in 1999, manufactured “boy bands” were dominating the charts, the Yankees were in the midst of yet another dynasty, more than half the country was turning into “Must See TV” every Thursday Night, and of course Call Center Week was born!
Call Center Week was a harebrained idea created to provide 80+ call center managers with an annual event to discuss best practices in agent training, emerging call center technology, performance metrics, quality assurance, cost reduction and other critical customer service priorities.
Fast forward almost 20 years. While at first glance it may seem as if we are still looking at similar priorities, so much has changed in our industry….and as a result, so have we!
With the emergence of multi-channel and then followed by the omni channel boom, it was clear that this was no longer your father’s call center. As service operations adopted new, more representative terms to describe their function from contact center to engagement center, it was clear that the customer service operation was going through a transition. ...and this transition would serve as the centerpiece for customer loyalty, retention, and brand differentiation for years to come.
And it would only continue with the convergence of the customer experience function and contact center operation to form a holistic, end-to-end customer interaction. Flash forward to today and a community of 140,000+ customer contact members, it was time for there to be an opportunity for Executives to break away into organized, focused groups, to strategize on a senior level.
