Recently Mr Chris William has been sharing his awful experience with Amazon which goes to show just how important it is to hire the right staff; Perhaps more interestingly for contact centres a case for moving away from out-sourcing or making sure the operation you use has given effective training to it’s frontline agents. Prepare to cringe as you read this…
