Key Steps to Successful Agent Coaching

NICE inContact

Many agents and supervisors cringe when it is time for coaching. From an agent perspective, the coaching experience has historically been associated with a supervisor controlling a conversation; speaking to what the agent has done wrong on a call.

Beyond Philosophy

Airbnb’s business continues to grow, as do the concerns of many hotel chains. But not Hilton. Their CEO claims the Airbnb business is a segment of the market and nothing more. Whilst I agree that the Airbnb is a different segment of guest, ignoring the Airbnb segment is to Hilton’s peril. Why? It indicates a change in business as usual.
