Attrition is one of the biggest challenges in the call center industry. While industry averages lie between a 30-45% attrition rate , some call centers are unlucky enough to experience over three times that amount in a single year. Moreover, call center agents tend to stay a maximum of one year in a role, much lower than the national median of four years.

I’ve been asked many times how to get the C-suite to invest in customer service. There are plenty of good answers. My go-to response has always been, “Show them the numbers.” The C-suite loves numbers.

Now there is a new way to approach leadership with an idea, which is to write a Fictional Press Release. .

Speaker: Nicholas Zeisler, CX Strategist & Fractional CXO
The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong. If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Last December, I visited three bicycle shops to search for a new bike. I wanted a hybrid bike that was easy to maintain and fun to ride. The employee at the first shop immediately focused what they had in stock, which wasn't much. He didn't ask any questions and barely answered mine. The employee at the second bike shop answered my questions, but didn't go deeper to truly understand my needs.
