Effective Call Centre Management

(A two-day programme)

This programme is ideal for Team Leaders or Managers who are new to the industry as well as for experienced management teams who wish to enhance existing skills or monitor why their Call Centre is operating successfully so that effective skills can be maintained in the future.

The programme is practical, includes extensive delegate participation and group discussions and is adapted to suit the requirements of each delegate or group. Provision is made to examine, on a group or one-on-one basis, relevant and individual examples of effective solutions for difficulties with objections from the public, difficult calls, inter-personal relationships or other difficulties with staff found in the specific Call Centres which delegates represent.

The objective of the training is to provide practical ideas and skills relating to management and communication, which will equip delegates to successfully establish and manage a Call Centre.
