I am in Orlando planning for our 2015 event and have to say that the service I have received overall has been amazing. My only peeve is that some venues still charge a service fee (i.e. you dont have an option) - so whats the incentive to excel? But kudos to Universal Studios staff, Microsoft store staff, James at Jacks Place, Steve at the Rosen and the many others who make me, and no doubt all visitors feel very valued! Better service here than anywhere I have been in years. Well done Orlando firms! Looking forward to our 2015 event in June!

I had an interesting email this morning from someone who had entered our Top Ranking Performers 'Best Practice' awards in the past and who was basically saying his company would enter if we guaranteed an award as they just got a certificate for service. I was very surprised by this and immediately wrote back. I have zero involvement in determining who win our awards - its the industry who judge not me.
I was actually insulted that someone would even suggest I give them an award. Maybe this is how some companies present awards - maybe to their biggest clients, to those who maybe pay for them etc, not us! Integrity is everything and I want to be clear to everyone - if you win one of our awards its because you deserve to win, not because you have any influence over us. I am curious if this company enters - I don't think they liked my answer so we will see!

In this years (2014) Top Ranking Performers Awards results you would expect to see lots of winners from locations that claim to offer exceptional service at low cost, yet the results suggest otherwise - not a single award for a Philippine Contact Center or Indian Contact Center - interesting!

What a fiasco in New Brunswick election last night. They introduced a new electronic system that involved scanning ballots, uploading data manually to a website following a phoned-in result and also taking physical memory cards from all over the province to a central location and uploading results from them. The result was complete chaos.
The NB Elections Manager responsible had no idea where 35 of the 700 memory cards were at one point. Results different from those phoned in versus what the memory card suggested. On live TV a CTV elections host asked if there would be an apology and the NB Elections Manager just gave excuses about trying new technology. He never apologized for the chaos and seemed to imply things happen when you try something new. Bet in your business, like ours, when things don’t work someone is accountable and apologies come from top down and it’s fixed. Shame the NB Elections Manager and his team didn’t seem to be too concerned about the fiasco. It's an election and we often see conflicts with elections in non-democratic regions of the world - the folks at NB really messed this up.
Lesson is Test, Test and Test again - should be no excuse for mistakes because its new and there should be a backup plan. And finally, what’s with the assortment of processes? ... Why are you doing things electronically with scanners then having someone drive a car across the province to drop off a memory card? That’s just crazy! Use tech efficiently – we can bank securely online why can’t the results be transferred securely?! The results finally were announced 5 hours late and yes you guessed it, the confidence in results is not there now so there are calls for a recount!

So many contact center professionals are taught to refer to callers as sir/ma’am during a call but I suggest to you this is NOT always a good approach unless you are 100% sure your are speaking to a male/female respectively. I recently called up Sears and was routed to the Philippines contact center and could barely understand the agent who on 2 occasions referred to me as ma’am even though I corrected them. The line was not 100% clear and this was so annoying. Train your staff out of this approach to be safe - I have heard so many people complain about this when they speak to contact center agents and it does not help your staff build a relationship. And re my call to Sears, i would score it 3/10 overall - not a great call at all and I was interested in buying from them - not any more!
Only refer to a caller by sir/ma’am if you know 100% otherwise don't! You won't make any friends if you get it wrong!

Want to thank Stuart at the Rosetta Stone contact center for his support yesterday. I was impressed with the speed and quality of the response when I selected the Live Chat option and Stuart was very quick to help me pinpoint a tech issue with an installation. At one point I was disconnected but was able to reconnect with a co-worker who put me back in touch with Stuart to close the case. Well done and great service - got my program working now!
