The Step-by-Step Process to Build a Productive Contact Centre Team
The digital age. A time where productivity tips couldn’t be more important. As a dialler provider, we see call centres make the same mistakes over and over again.
If you want to develop a team that provide results, this blog is for you. Here are 5 simple steps you can follow to build the productive team your contact centre needs.
1. Give Your Team Members Ownership
Give the power to your team members so they can make decisions on their own. This will allow them to be accountable for their own work.
Giving responsibility to people will make them want to get the best results instead of having to get the best results. You can do these in simple ways like leading a project or creating a new campaign.
2. Know Your Teams Strengths and Weaknesses
Each and every one of us has hidden gifts and talents that have yet to be found. To get the best out of your team, you need to know where they thrive as well as where they need improvement. This will help develop a team that continuously grow.
Tools like our predictive dialler will allow you to track your agent’s performance. Digging deep into stats like n.o calls, avg call time and n.o sales to see if expectations are being met.
3. Set Expectations
Without expectations, your team could be underperforming or even over-achieving and they wouldn’t even know it. Without expectations, trying to achieve your goals will be like shooting in the dark.
Examples of expectations could be 20 calls per day with a 10% conversions rate. Again, with a predictive dialler, all of this can be easily tracked for both agent and admin.
4. Do Team Building Activities
Your team must have a strong relationship, they should motivate and inspire each other to do better and be better. Organise team-building activities that allow the team to build a strong relationship.
Conclusion
Teams don’t develop overnight, it requires a lot of time as well as patience. In a nutshell, give your team some ownership and responsibility.
Set expectations to see results and learn their strengths and weaknesses.
When your team meet or exceed expectations, praise them for their good work.
To get teams to work well together, invest the time and money into team building activities.
