Two-Day Workshop Description
The purpose of our World Class Call Center Two-day Workshop is to help call center managers improve their first call resolution (FCR) and customer satisfaction (Csat). SQM has been benchmarking, tracking, certifying and helping leading North American call centers improve their FCR, Esat and Csat performance since 1996.

SQM's benchmarking of over 400 leading North American call centers in 2009 reveals that their FCR performance has been flat for the last 5 years. The average call center FCR performance is 68%, which means that 32% of calls that come into a call center are the result of the call not being resolved on the first call.

SQM is very proud of the fact that 70% of our tracking clients improved their 2009 FCR performance from 2008. SQM tracking clients conduct customer FCR/Csat surveys on a daily basis. For the average call center, a 5% increase in FCR represents an operational savings of $350,000 which is typically a 250% ROI - not a bad investment to make!

If you are interested in improving your call center's FCR and Csat performance you need to attend SQM's two-day workshop on how to become a world class FCR/Csat call center. This workshop is based on Mike Desmarais' (President and Founder of SQM) ground-breaking book, World Class Call Center, in which he shares best practices for improving your FCR, Esat and Csat performance. Each workshop attendee receives a copy of the book, a value of $1,000.

What makes world class call centers wildly successful with great FCR, Esat, Csat and low cost per call resolution performance?

At SQM's two-day workshop, Mike Desmarais and senior SQM consultants will share call center industry FCR, Esat and Csat research and best practices that world class call centers use to achieve outstanding results.
