Mastering the Art of Call Center Communication

And a call center is very interesting. You can learn retention, customer support, sales, onboarding, training, human resources, labor loss, search engine optimization. And so I said, this is very interesting. And as long as I was stimulated and I saw these English second language agents completely engaged on the phone, I don't know, maybe you get the butterflies or you say, wait a second, this looks like wiffle ball to me. I think I can handle this. And so when you get on a phone and you've never been trained before, guess what happens? You don't have bad habits. You could be molded accordingly. Thankfully, I had some excellent mentors that guided me into the structure of a phone call. I then took it into my own. But I saw the results and I understood the play. And I love the fact that strangers are friends you haven't met yet. And if you're eliminating three of your senses, your taste, touch and smell, and you're doing it in controlled environment consistently, your hearing and especially your image streaming, your visual, your metaphysics has to kick in. I mean, who does this? And so if I could master the sight unseen speech and really focus on phonetics, I might be able to crack some code, see some tell signs, and really perfect the beautiful sound of speech.
