Managing numerous clients each with unique requirements poses a challenge for our agents. However, employing a structured and methodical approach to learning complex information has allowed us to fulfill our contractual obligations with ease.

It felt effortless working with e2G. They were very accommodating, tailoring the content specifically for our needs, and remained available afterward to ensure the learning stuck and we got the outcome we needed.

AppleExpress
THE CHALLENGE

Apple Express was set to launch with a new client who required the highest standards in quality as well as SLAs for deliveries.

Having hired the team of front-line members and leaders, Apple Express needed the right training and development to enable the team in delivering the top-level care for this white glove account.

THE STRATEGY

Design New Hire training to encompass

  1. The new client’s account-specific requirements,
  2. Apple Express’ standard policies & procedures, and
  3. Refresh Apple Express’ systems training to reflect a series of updates they had undertaken in the past year.

Then, equip leaders to support the team via building effective coaching and leadership skills.

I’ve been at CIBC for a very long time, and we’ve had many call flows come and go…MANY! But e2G, by far, is the best one because it’s the only one that truly has the client at its core.

The reason I adopt these techniques is because at the end of the day, it makes my job easier.

Afshan generously shared her expertise with our Customer Relations team at a critical time when we were developing their contact center skills during Hydro One’s market opening and deregulation of the industry.

Our objective was to improve our outsourcer management skills and contact center knowledge.

Her meticulously crafted 2-day crash course, rich with industry best practices, empowered them with actionable steps. They left with confidence, equipped with a practical toolkit to balance partner relationships, customer service delivery, and budgetary targets.

How we help

As a site with a team of 130, we went from 68% to 102% of targets in less than 6 months!  Most of the team did not think that was possible – thought they had to choose service or sales but couldn’t do both and never understood that you have to repeat the right process and techniques until you get it right and THEN you get the results!  It was a real wow for the entire team.

Our CEB gave us clarity and united the team around a shared vision of what good sounds like. Of course it was designed to be Collector-centric, but our Ambassadors loved how it allowed them to easily execute.

The Coaching Fundamentals series invigorated our leaders with a methodology that drove both Collector and employee engagement.

We achieved improved engagement and efficiencies thanks to the strategic restructuring of our new hire training.

This initiative allowed us to reclaim 5 days, which we then allocated towards more extensive practice sessions and role plays with our new hires. As a result, they are better prepared for success when interacting with our valued clients.
