Hello,

I'm working on a project to improve the experience of customer service representatives, and I'm looking for some input on the topic of preparing for calls. Specifically, I'm interested in understanding how much time CSRs spend preparing for calls and whether they find this process frustrating or annoying.

If you have any thoughts or experiences you'd like to share on this topic, I'd love to hear from you. Any insights you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you chime in and help, I'd be happy to hop on a call and show you what I'm working on (totally optional).

Thank you in advance for your help!

Customer service representatives (CSRs) typically spend varying amounts of time preparing for calls, depending on the complexity of the queries. The nature of preparation involves reviewing customer history, policies, and product information. While some find it empowering, challenges like scattered information or system inefficiencies can lead to frustration. Improved technology and training resources play a crucial role in enhancing the overall experience for CSRs during the preparation process.

@bmaddick thanks for raising this.

Call prep is often weak when prior customer notes are noisy. We found combining prior notes with real-time dialect transcript gives reps better context before next call. If your team wants, we can measure prep-time impact in a small pilot and share output format.
