Achieving consistent, high quality customer experiences at scale is a challenge every business faces.
And, as more support volume moves to digital channels, what was supposed to improve the effectiveness of support teams has made the job tougher for Quality Assurance professionals. Analyzing the vast array of customer engagements means days that are consumed with performance reviews, conversation transcripts, and manually created agent scorecards.
How are a few individuals expected to dictate what quality looks like, based on thousands and thousands of conversations, when only a small fraction can be manually evaluated?
Eugene engaged Ines and Ash in a conversation about the tedious, manual nature of QA in it’s current state, and the potential for a future where automated QA enables professionals to move from checking boxes to discovering insights that will help improve products and customer experiences alike.
