Coaching and Reinforcement

Does your Leadership truly know how to Coach and Reinforce your Agents' Selling Skills?

Inevitably, we find that every successful sales training and selling initiative begins with leadership.  Leaders must prepare agents for the training, set goals and then recap with agents when they return from the class.

  • Floor Time: Leaders then need time each day on the center floor, encouraging and holding agents accountable to start using their new skills.  
  • Celebrate Successes: As agents start to master the skills, leaders must be there to support, encourage and celebrate the new advances. 
  • CCFM: These skills are all part of our Call Center Floor Management program.  Even if you feel like your current set of selling skills is sufficient, we rarely come across a center that has figured out proper coaching and support.
