I recently participated in a webinar organized by SupportIndustry.com about how to improve communication skills in the first 30 seconds of a call, building confidence, then adding technology to ensure an exceptional support experience. My co-presenters were

In this webinar, Rich talks about many communication techniques and processes that you can employ in your support center to improve service and help your representatives deal with upset or even angry customers. To give you an example, Rich explains why you shouldn’t say “I’m sorry” when talking with customers (news to me) as “I’m sorry” has been said so much it doesn’t mean anything anymore. (Now, I’m so sorry to hear this and I wish I’m sorry still worked as sometimes I really am sorry – darn! You’ll have to play back the webinar to see what to say instead of I’m sorry.) Following Rich, I talk about how you can seamlessly integrate remote support technology your or your team to really focus on communication skills and solving the customer problems. It is the combination of both  — human skills and technology — that produces results for your call center.
