3 Important Qualities of a Great Call Center Agent

A good call center agent provides helpful information and answers to customers’ questions, comments, and concerns. A great call center agent will increase sales, avoid lost opportunities, and on top of that, recommend the business to others. 

Without a solid idea of what to look for in a call center agent, your time and money may be going down the drain due to bad hires. 

The top 3 important qualities we look for when hiring a great call center agent. 

Effective Communication Skills

Call center agents hold a huge responsibility within the customer’s journey and overall satisfaction with a brand. A bad experience with a call center agent could potentially ruin the brand’s reputation with a customer altogether. For an agent to be considered an effective communicator, they must focus on actively listening to a customer’s questions and concerns while on the phone to provide them with the correct answers that ensure their success. Have you ever been on the phone with a customer service agent and felt as if they weren’t listening? It’s the worst.

The Ability to Multitask

A great agent will keep an organized space while juggling multiple things at once. For example, when a call center agent is on the phone with a customer, they’ll have to balance taking notes, updating customer profiles in CRM, and more! To be a successful call agent, it would be best to learn how to organize their workflow most productively.

A Good Memory

In a high-paced environment like a call center, you’ll want an agent who has a sharp memory. An agent with a good memory will remember answers to frequently asked questions and apply those answers when helping a customer troubleshoot an issue. On top of that, a customer will feel good after getting off the phone with a customer service agent who answered their questions confidently and quickly because many customers are used to being put on hold for an extended period!
