What is Agent X?
Agent X is a call centre virtual assistant that not only guides and supports agents during calls but motivates and inspires high performance via an engaging, dynamic and intuitive interface.
What value does Agent X hold?
By arming your agents with essential nuggets of information on their customers, they can engage with them successfully. Agent X makes complex data easy to understand and use by displaying these nuggets visually. It only takes 0.25 seconds to process visual content, approximately 60 000 times faster than text. By representing customer information and insights with pictures and colours, your agents will easily and quickly be able to discern and remember who they are talking to, and the main message to be delivered, allowing them to spend the first 3 seconds of a call effectively engaging with the client, eliminating unnecessary conversation that may irritate the customer and losing the core purpose of the call.
Agent X also tracks call centre agents’ progress towards targets in real-time via a dynamic and engaging dashboard, improving motivation to reach these targets.
By optimising time spent on the call and motivating your agents, Agent X improves call outcomes (sales or yields), customer satisfaction and agent productivity, and lowers agent turnover.
In what type of call centre is Agent X applicable?
Agent X is configurable to meet the needs of sales, collections and customer service call centres.
