Case Study: Transforming a Telecom Company's Customer Service Team

Client: Leading telecom provider with 5M+ customer service representatives across multiple locations.​

Challenge: High customer complaint rates, low first-contact resolution, and a reactive call center culture focused on ticket closure rather than relationship building.​

Training Approach:

• Pre-assessment identified gaps in empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution​

• Three-block training structure combined live speaker sessions, video learning, games, and real-call analysis​

• 34% of non-call time dedicated to training (surpassing the 10% goal)​

• 100% improvement in quality of closed sales post-training​

• 4.87 out of 5 average participant satisfaction score​
