How Call Center Training Departments Are Using The Assault Role Play Phone Simulator

As more call centers embrace and use the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator, they are finding unique and deeply impactful ways to make the simulator successful for their call center agents and their training department.  Call Center Today powers the proprietary Assault Role Play Phone Simulator, and it is truly driving better training and performance for call center agents.

What makes the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator pop for call center training departments and their agents?  And why is the simulator so successful in teaching agents how to sell and service more effectively on the phone?  Here are ways that Call Center Today clients use the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator to power performance in their call center:

1.  Agents who are medicore or not performing train on the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator to practice, first learning the skills and then practicing the skills they need to utilize to  become better.  Agents practice against the simulator in extremely realistic role play scenarios- not against live customers or prospects - so your mediocre agents are not wasting your data or impacting your customers. With the simulator, agents can practice forever, and every customer response is realistic and consistent so your agents get powerful practice.

2.  Managers and trainers listen to the role play phone simulator calls, and then let the agents listen.  From there, they help teach agents to sell and service better by going over the presentation.  And, the agents hear themselves and learn what they are doing right and wrong.

3.  All the real scenarios are programmed into the simulator – the objections, questions, obstacles and real flow that occurs on the calls are accurately duplicated on the simulator, so it is truly realistic.  This way, your agents face exactly the scenarios they will face live on the phone.

4.  Veteran agents who want to practice and can’t get rhythm with live customers and prospects can practice using the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator.  This allows them to refine their transition phrases; open questions; value statements; features and benefits; and closing skills as they battle against the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator.

5.  Call Centers are using the role play phone simulator for their new hire training class.  Instead of throwing the class on the phones and hoping for the best, trainers are certifying the performance of new hires before they are allowed to sell or service on the phone.  This allows the new hire class to really feel, and hear, what they will be facing live, the real scenarios and challenges.  And, it allows the new hire class to use over and over and over again the skills they learned in class, such as the questions, phrases and benefits until they are comfortable and very good at presenting.

6.  Hiring departments are having applicants go home and role play a sample script using the role play phone simulator.  From there, they listen to the calls and certify which agents sound spectacular and seem to embody the right phone communication and skills.  Those agents who sound great against the simulator are ready for the next interview.

7.  Unlimited scenarios can be programmed, as simple or complex as required.  And the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator is perfect for inbound, outbound, sales, service and help desk role play.  It can be used in many versatile and constructive ways. Some clients use the role play phone simulator to teach just transition phrases – so each time the simulator provides a question or objection to the agent it is the agent’s job to drive a transition phrase, over and over again, until it becomes a habit.

The Assault Role Play Phone Simulator is the most effective way to revolutionize training – have agents practice their presentations in a controlled and safe environment that accurately mimics real life telephone interaction.  To begin using the Assault Role Play Phone Simulator visit www.CallCenterToday.com or email MyCallCenter@CallCenterToday.com.

The Benefits Of Role Play During Phone Training

Call Center Today’s best new technology solution is being rolled out to clients as we speak.  And, clients are deeply enjoying the rewards.  Now, when Call Center Today does telephone training, for script development and for sales effectiveness training, we incorporate inventive technology to help them learn.  This is a truly scalable phone role play simulator that we call Assault Role Play Simulator.  Phone training has never been stronger.  Role play to drive skills has never been more efficient.

Just this week, the Assault Role Play Simulator is teaching agents how to become better on the phone.  The students learn how to read the script; prepare to handle objections and obstacles; and learn how to communicate effectively during in class room and on-line training.  Then they practice, over and over again, against the phone role play simulator.  The phone role play simulator serves as customer, and the agents battle the simulator.  Best of all, the agents are battling REAL scenarios they will face live on the phone.  And they are practicing against the simulator, NOT customers.  And, every call is recorded, so after a series of practice sessions we all listen to the calls, grade them, and provide insights to the agent on how they can become better – implementing the skills we have taught them in class.

Agents are benefiting big time from the Assault Role Play Simulator. First, they are practicing new sales skills and new scripts over and over again, for hours at a time, so they actually become very proficient.  Second, they are not practicing against customers.  Third, we can hear the recordings and teach them further.  Fourth, they are practicing against the real scenarios, questions, objections and obstacles they will face on the phone.  It is totally realistic, and totally fun for the agents.  And for new hires, they benefit too.  Instead of being told what they will face, they can actually sell on the phone against what they will really face.  And, that is magical to prepare them deeply for being on the phone!

The call center agents in training are super-enthusiastic about this type of training.  They are begging for more time with the phone role play simulator.  They want to keep practicing handling every objection and obstacle. The Assault Role Play Simulator is allowing them to practice transition phrases; open questions; warm rebuttals; and selling value proposition. They are using what they learned in a very real environment before they go onto the telephone.  And, the call center agents have champions:  their managers LOVE the Assault Role Play Simulator as much as the agents love it.  The managers see the improvement in phone skills through the phone role play simulator.
