We have come a long way within the customer service industry since Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) technology in the 1960s. One of the biggest changes undoubtedly being the shift from a voice-only call centre to the omni-channel contact centre, which encompasses any and all customer contact points, from web chat and email to social media and self-service.

The technology, tools and processes have evolved tremendously, accelerating in the last few years, and so have the requirements for your people. Customer service agents are the brand representatives your customers engage with. No longer are they purely targeted on efficiency and getting customers off the phone as swiftly as possible, instead there is a requirement for a personalised interaction and emotional engagement so the customer feels the experience has been a positive one.
