The quality of interactions customers have with the contact centre is one important way that they evaluate the business they are dealing with and its worthiness to continue to have them as a customer.A simple hello can go a long way in wireless retail, but a recent J.D. Power and Associates customer satisfaction study makes a startling case for the conventional in-store greeting. The study found that overall customer satisfaction declines considerably if customers’ wait time (the time before customers are greeted upon entry) exceeds 30 seconds.This finding is particularly poignant since the average wait time among wireless retail stores is about five minutes. According to the study, customers who are approached within 30 seconds of entering the store provide a satisfaction score 86 points higher (on a 1,000-point scale) than customers not greeted within 30 seconds.Currently, on One technology that is proving very useful for contact centres is transaction recording systems.

Recording of calls goes back many years, and was originally done using magnetic reel to reel tapes for storage before someone came up with the bright idea of .wav files. Recording was originally done for legal compliance reasons, such as for financial transactions where a record of the transaction was required to be stored for several years. More recently recording of calls has been carried out as part of a training and quality assurance exercise. Training and quality assurance are now the primary business reason for recording calls. Contact Centre managers and supervisors are able to listen to individual agents as they talk to customers and evaluate the quality and professionalism of the call, including the greeting, handling difficult customers, closing sales, politeness and so on.
