Handling calls and chat simultaneously

E-support

Feb 22, 2010

We are smaller customer support center (20 FTE) mostly handling inbound calls, customer emails, and more recently live chats. We anticipate seeing a significant increase in our live chat queue in the near future and this may result in more agents needing to simultaneously handle an inbound call and a live chat customer. Would appreciate hearing from others who have agents doing this and how succesful it has been or any suggestion you may have. We do not want the quality of customer service or our ASA times to drop.

Is agent adherence so bad that you feel like you need to time your agents' bathroom breaks?

Absolutely! Our agents are dillydallying!
Heck no! Our agents are adherence champs!
Adherence is bad, but bathroom breaks aren't the issue.
