Unlock Customer Service Excellence for Financial Services

Thursday, February 14, 2019 2:00pm - 3:00pm EST  
Host: Association for Talent Development
By: Travis Thompson, Director, American Express

Customer-facing employees are in constant need of customer service training. The need for exemplary training is especially true in call centers of global financial services companies, where the quality and duration of each customer engagement is critical to business outcomes. The fast-paced nature of a call center can make it difficult to introduce changes, including getting buy-in from senior organizational leaders to support and invest in new approaches to training.

This webcast will present a case study of a 450-person high-impact pilot program where the leaders and team members of a global financial services company learned how to "connect with people." This approach helped participants become more aware and flexible in their interactions, leading to more effective coaching and mentoring, higher customer satisfaction, and cost savings.

In this webcast, you'll learn how this organization:

  • established a business case for increased investment in training
  • got buy-in to launch a new pilot
  • designed and launched the pilot.

Plus, you'll hear about the pilot outcomes, observations, recommendations, and next steps.
