What people DO NOT understand about being a call center agent
For those who think that this type of job is boring, you’ll
be surprised that it is actually quite fun.
It’s more than simply answering the phone like an answering
machine. In fact, work is fun because it
allows one to meet different types of people, by each and every call one
takes. Just like the various customer
personalities, the types of calls are likewise as varied as the callers
themselves. There are good calls, or you
get to deal with easy-to-please clients.
Then, there are customers who are so hard to deal with. It can really test your nerves and your
patience. And this is what makes work
quality exciting. You always need to be on
your toes, as you don’t simply deal with each and every call in a unique
way. But likewise, how to display a level
of professional courtesy, that keeps customers coming back for more.

This is what makes customer service fulfilling. It allows one to deal with customers in a
proactive manner – attending to their needs in the most professional way
possible. What’s more? Customer service brings out the best in an
agent. Because it allows an agent to
help out the customers, not to mention – be part in making their lives easier
and enjoyable.
Take technical support as an example. You can turn the customer’s anxiety into a
smile, once he finds out that his new android tablet isn’t broken - it simply
needs a bit of tinkering to get it running again. Or the assurance you give to a mother that
her daughter‘s open-ended ticket has been transferred to a two-way return flight
in so-and-so date package. Each of these
can only be described as priceless. But
don’t think for a moment that call center workers are the no-work, all play
kind of person. In fact, they like to
hang out with friends and share stories about life during breaks. You know, relaxing and just enjoying those
precious moments. And that for them, is
why a contact center is the best place to work in. Not only do you get to help people out,
you’re giving a chance to get that perfect work-play balance. And you can ditch out top-notch customer
service, while still enjoying a tasty milk tea at the end of the day. And savor it, because you know that you’ve
made a difference in someone’s life.
