📋 What’s about
A contact centre Agent is a person who handles incoming or/and outgoing customer interactions for an organization.Â
A contact center is a customer service function that handles customer contacts from multiple channels, which could include phone, chat, email, social media, and more. A contact centre agent is a front-line employee that interacts directly with customers and help with issues.
Some contact centre Agent duties include the following:
manage inbound and/or outbound calls;
follow various communication scripts when speaking to a caller;
handle customer engagement;
identify customer needs, answer questions and solve problems;
up-sell products and services;
build sustainable customer relationships;
organize all conversation records;
improve performance and hit goals.
Contact center agents are often the only human contact a customer has with a business and therefore can have a significant influence on the customer experience.Â
A contact center Agent's job involves various responsibilities that ultimately lead to greater customer satisfaction. More and more, Agents are critical components of the overall customer experience.
Businesses need to provide their contact center agents with the tools and support needed to successfully assist customers.Â
