Post-Conference Workshops - June 6, 2013
Applying The Finishing Touches To Your New Customer Contact Plans
The MECC '13 event will have exposed you to a myriad of new techniques, technologies and tactics and enthused you with the many, practical measures you can implement to drive your own customer contact initiatives. MECC '13 workshops provide an additional “polishing” opportunity where you can gain additional guidance in several key areas, explore pertinent MECC '13 conference content in more depth and as it applies to you own situation, and finalize your own development plans going forward. But hurry, places are limited, and these highly interactive sessions are very popular.

W1 - Managing A Small Call Center
|
By Jay Minnucci, President, Service Agility, US
Managing any contact centre is a difficult task, but smaller centers – those with 60 agents or less – present a unique set of challenges. Leaders of smaller centers need to have an understanding of these issues along with a strong breadth of knowledge across all elements of contact centre management. This seminar is specifically designed for those managing smaller centers, and will provide participants with:
| Tools and process for determining staffing needs over the long term
| |
Knowledge of Erlang-C and options for using it without spending much money
| |
Reasons to actively schedule staff and an excel template to help you do this
| |
Quality monitoring principles and a copy of a monitoring form
|
With the background and tools provided during this session, participants will have the information and templates required to bring performance to the next level.
WFM Models
Attendees will receive two Excel based WFM models. One is a staffing model that is used to calculate monthly staffing requirements and create a hiring plan. The second is a scheduling tool that incorporates Erlang-C to determine the number of agents required on the phone by interval for a full day. Attendees will need to download an add-in to Excel for the file to work correctly, and will be given free and low-cost options(under $100) on where they can find this on the internet. Those that are interested can download while on site to ensure the file works.
QM Program
Seminar participants will receive a copy (in Microsoft Word) of a call monitoring form, complete with rating descriptions for each category. They will also receive a list of best practices for calibration sessions. The form and descriptions are easy to customize for each attendee's use.
