Recorded Webinar: How to Develop Active Listening in the Contact Centre

Active Listening is about fully concentrating on what is really being said, rather than just passively ‘hearing’ the message of the caller.

It avoids the pitfalls of advisors jumping to conclusions. It can improve job effectiveness, the quality of the customer experience and can significantly improve First Contact Resolution.

In this webinar we looked at how to develop active listening in the contact centre.
