Major call centers use centralized equipment that records ALL calls, and generally this is thought to make the rep evaluation and coaching process easier and more efficient.On one level, it does. Calls can be “drawn” by evaluators on a random basis with no obvious intrusion into conversations. Reps are believed to be behaving as they normally would, not trying to spiff up their chats simply because they know they’re being monitored or judged.However, I believe what appears to be a primitive means of recording calls is preferable. Reps should record their own conversations using portable, “hand held” equipment while at their individual workstations.There are 5 reasons this improves achievement and efficiency, according to Dr. Gary S. Goodman, President of Customersatisfaction.com, top speaker and trainer, and best selling author of 12 books including MONITORING,.
