James: Hello, and welcome back to “Top 10 Tips for Successful CX in 2022.” My name is James. I am the Studios Director at 729 Solutions, and joining me is our Zendesk Architect at 729, Brandon Tidd. Brandon, thanks for joining me once again.
Brandon: It feels like we just talked.
James: Indeed, it does! Well, let’s jump right into Tip #4. Take it away, Brandon.
Brandon: Yeah. So this one, we’re kind of turning the lens back on the agents and the folks that are actually responding to those customers, because only 15% of agents are extremely satisfied with their workloads and a mere 20% report feeling the same way about the quality of training that they receive. In fact, overall less than 30% feel empowered to do their jobs well.
James: So the “take home message” here seems to be very powerful. You got to take care of your agents.
Brandon: Yeah. And, um, you know, beyond that, uh, think about how they’re treated, uh, with respect to the rest of the organization. 1/3 of the respondents said that the CS Team is not treated as well as the other departments, and only 14% are extremely satisfied with the career path that is open to them.
James: Brandon Tidd, Zendesk Guru and CX Champion at 729 Solutions. Thanks for yet another helpful tip, Brandon!
Brandon: Of course!
James: As a reminder to our listeners, Zendesk’s “CX Trends 2022” event is coming up on February 10th. Be sure to register now! You can find a registration link in the video description. Thanks again, Brandon. We’ll see you tomorrow for tip number three.
