FAQs
How are your customer service representatives trained?
As a new client, we’ll work with you to create customer service training documents, appeasement charts, inbound and outbound scripting, and more. Each representative is fully trained before taking any calls.
When new representatives join our team, they each receive two weeks of classroom training. This includes:
- Introduction to the company
- Customer service training
- Client-specific training
- Product training
Following classroom training, representatives participate in a nesting program for another two weeks. They take calls with a training specialist who monitors and provides coaching.
At the end of their training, each representative will take an exam to become certified for your products and services to ensure a complete understanding of your company’s business model before they work independently.
Re-training is provided every 90 days or sooner if the client makes changes. Training documents are stored inside our phone system for easy access during calls.
