Our most read blog post in January was “Moving Forward: What Will 2024 Bring For Contact Centers?” This is one that we do every year and it is always a favorite of ours here at Pipeline. We kick off each January with our Pipeline Advisory Board sharing their insights on what contact center trends they foresee for the year ahead, and how they compare to the previous year. This is always such an insightful piece that helps us all to align our focus for the year ahead.
Also this month, readers learned how to improve their coaching, thereby improving their agent and customer experiences, with Mike’s “12 Tips for Effective Coaching.” Then, Jeff shared advice on improving the CX, specifically in the consumer packaged goods space. Next, Dan explained exactly what workforce management is and why it is so vitally important in our centers.
Another of our most popular blog posts this month was our newest addition, Pipeline Puzzles. Tiffany’s December puzzle, Time Is on My Side: WFM Metrics & Data, was a hit! Give it a try if you haven’t had the opportunity yet.
