The core characteristics that make a company customer-oriented add up to the ability to fulfill the ultimate purpose of helping people, regardless of challenges along the way.

What makes a sports team successful? Excellent athletes who work together on both offense and defense to win the game. A good pitcher alone won’t win a baseball game. He needs a good catcher and good infielders and outfielders to support him, good batters to score points, and good coaches to make strategic play calls.

Employee disengagement is rampant in contact centers. Imagine a fire department where two-thirds of the firefighters on duty weren’t ready to respond to a call. How about a restaurant where two-thirds of the wait staff weren’t talking to patrons. Both of these situations would be totally unacceptable.
