168: Nate Brown, Service Center Engagement


Listen Later

Today we explore ways to create outstanding service center engagement with renowned speaker and HDI certified Support Center Manager Nate Brown.

Redefining service center engagement

Call center processes are ever-complicating. And customer expectations are getting higher while their patience gets shorter. How can you create a service experience that works better for customers?

Nate Brown explains the difference between a “call center,” where the experience is based on processes, and a “service center,” where the experience is created around a customer-focused culture.

“It’s really about putting technology in the right place.” –Nate Brown

Properly engaging your team is a huge part of this. A team that is customer-focused, happy working together and communicates effectively can make all the difference. This can mean a huge shift in mindset and execution! Today we explore some of the ways you can go about facilitating these changes.

“There is nobody in the organization that is closer to the customer, and to the products and services of the business. It’s amazing the opportunity to really represent the brand, be the voice of the business to the customers. There’s nobody that gets to do that like customer service does... If it’s a sad place, that’s a cultural thing, and that ultimately stems back to leadership…” –Nate Brown

Are you ready to create a customer-focused service culture and stop letting processes and technology define the experience? What performance metrics should you be looking at to help guide your next actions? Listen in and with Nate’s help, we’ll get you started.
