Client Comments
Here are a few of the things that our clients have had to say about us:
They brought instant credibility to our project. Strategic Contact helped us document and articulate a three-year technology roadmap for our contact centers. The advantage of working with consultants that specialize in contact centers – and are not trying to sell technology – is that senior managers are willing to listen and not assume there is a hidden agenda.
The learnings exceeded my expectations. I have many things to review and discuss when I return to the office! Your company’s involvement was critical to the success we had in this project. You did an outstanding job of helping us accomplish a difficult task in a very timely manner.
Thanks for highlighting the important decisions and their impact on our project. This helped us take ownership of the project outcome and realize some great benefits.
We selected Strategic Contact to help us determine whether to in-source or outsource our call center and to help us improve the routing of customer calls between our sales and service contact center groups. While we selected Strategic Contact because of their expertise in call centers and call center technologies, they were ultimately re-engaged for a second project because of their people.
Knowledge is only one of their strengths. Their real strength is in their ability to partner and work with differing teams and priorities to recommend a winning outcome that allows for greater efficiencies. Strategic Contact brings out the best in existing call center staff.
Most consultants just sit back and advise. You actually get your hands dirty. You help us accomplish the things you suggest we do. You are there every step of the way.
Lori is not only a subject matter expert but a good trainer. The course does not attempt to overload you, yet is very robust and enlightening. I learned a myriad of things I can apply immediately.
