Top Takeaways: - Certain insights from AI and data can be brought down to the call center to help agents improve the customer experience in real-time. - Abusive behaviors from customers do exist and companies need to be more aware of these harmful interactions. - Of the 82 million customer interactions CallMiner examined, just under 50% of those interactions had some form or mention of profanity. Of those that had some form of profanity, almost 87% had profanity throughout the entire duration of the call. - Customer experience tends to lead people to be concerned only with the customer and less about the contact center agents providing that experience. - Agents are often expected to jump from one call, where a customer uses profanity and exhibits heightened aggression, to another, where the agents are expected to have an upbeat and positive attitude. - Research has found that agents typically require about 30-40 minutes to mentally recover from offensive calls with angry customers. - When customer service agents experience racist and sexist remarks, it can have an impact on those individuals as well as, at an aggregate scale, impact on the company. - Organizations can leverage offensive instances to learn, operationalize a response, change business processes for the better, and create fairer experiences for everyone. - Providing support and loyalty to your employees is just as important as providing support and loyalty to your customers. Quote: “When we think about customer experience, we’re always thinking about the customer and not about the agent’s experience working in the contact center.” About: Eric Williamson is CallMiner’s Chief Marketing Officer, with more than 20 years of experience in both the technology and consumer product marketing.
