Leverage the Learning. Make the Workshop a Team-Building Experience

Teams of supervisors from the same company are encouraged to participate together. Experience has shown that when teams receive the same training, they get better outcomes and faster results during the post-classroom implementation phase.

Benefits to the business: When agents learn to “keep their monkeys” everybody wins. 

•  Build more cooperative, respectful, and productive teams. •  Measurably improve overall customer service scores and key performance metrics. •  Improve employee engagement and employee satisfaction survey scores. •  Promote noticeably higher levels of individual accountability. •  Improve individual and team productivity. •  Significantly improve employee morale and attitudes. •  Create a workplace culture that supports increased engagement and commitment by front-line employees.

Workshop participants learn:

•  How external forces (customers are harder to please, Gen X & Y employees demand a different approach, calls are becoming increasingly complex and take longer) have prompted customer care organizations to re-think the way they do business. •  Why the role that supervisors play in contact center success has shifted from managing “by the numbers” to leveraging front-line talent. •  Why the reactive, “firefighting” style of support many supervisors currently use can degrade team performance by as much as 30%. •  How the proactive, Intentional Coaching™ Model impacts employee engagement, customer satisfaction and overall performance. • How to prevent escalated calls and improve FCR by helping reps “Keep the Monkey.” • The Step-by-Step process for implementing each of the Intentional Coaching™ Protocols: 1. Scooting 2. Real Time In-the-Moment. 3. Monthly Mentoring Meeting 4. Keep the Monkey Situations • How focusing on three powerful core values: The 3P’s of Personal Responsibility, Positive Regard, Proactive Resolution makes leading easier. •  How to gradually transform negative attitudes and improve agent morale by deploying the customer service fable, The Napkin, The Melon & The Monkey. •  Why the simple act of acknowledgment makes such a difference to your employees. •  How to leverage team meetings to improve both morale and performance.

Workshop participants receive:

•  The Intentional Coaching™ Workshop Participant Guide •  FREE copy of Barbara’s customer service fable, The Napkin, The Melon & The Monkey.• The Intentional Coaching™ Tool Kit containing a complete set of posters and other job aids to insure long-term success. •  Participation in a post-Workshop meeting to discuss progress. •  Intentional Coaching™ Boot Camp Workshop  Certificate of Completion.
