| 3. What skills can be acquired working in a call center environment? |
| The most beneficial skill people learn in a Call Center is the “how to work with people.” There are very few positions in business where a person gets the opportunity to interact with ALL levels of management. This includes watching first-hand how decisions are made, who makes them, what information is used to make the decision, etc. The reason Call Center personnel are exposed to all types of situations is because it is the one place people know they can call to interact with any company. Therefore, most situations a company encounters are first discovered at the Call Center level.Even as an entry level employee a person will be able to view problems as they arise, watch how they are analyzed for potential solutions and finally help implement or manage the solution in future telephone calls, emails or web site requests. It is difficult to even think of other positions that would expose a person to this level ofsituational experience in the workplace. |
