Tuesday | 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Regency Ballroom 3
Matthew Dixon, Timothy Donchez
How would your company's leadership and business partners describe the value the contact center delivers to the organization? Is it seen as a "necessary evil", managed aggressively from a cost standpoint and an afterthought when it comes to organizational strategy and investment, or is it an "insight center," delivering critical data and perspective on customers, markets, risks and opportunities? Come learn how Lutron used the latest AI technology and a transformational leadership approach to dramatically change the perception of the value that customer service can (and should) deliver to the enterprise.

Performance Dashboards: A Common Sense Approach
Wednesday | 2:45 PM – 3:45 PM
Regency Ballroom 3
Eddie Vidal
We live our whole lives being measured, from our grades in school to our working life. Measurement is important because it puts vague concepts into context, but many are subjective, which can lead to differences of opinion. In the case of customer experience, it's not enough to say you want to deliver quality service – you must define what it means to know if you are succeeding. This session will provide tools and templates for grading agent performance, as well as strategies to gain their buy-in and contributions. Learn how to implement an agent performance dashboard designed to improve the quality of service provided to your customers.

You may be writing to customers in newer channels like social, chat or SMS, and with newer tools like chatbots.

This hands-on session will identify five insincere, generic, or tired-sounding customer service phrases, and review real-world examples of customer communications that illustrate the damage they do to service quality. This session will offer fresh, honest replacement wording for these exhausted phrases – a simple step that can deliver quick "wins" for your center.
